[Verse 1]
There comes time when all the children
All want somethin' else to do
They were headed to the graveyard
Walkin' down North Avenue
Tell me what to do about you
And we'll be just fine
I said, "I forgive you when I'm near you"
Every single time

[Chorus]
Runnin' down the alleyway
That we took home from school
Hand in hand and face to face
You told me I'm your fool
One by one and two by two
I tried not to be cruel
She said, "Wait for me on Second Street
I'll see you after school"

[Verse 2]
Could it be the reason
That I met you at the pool?
The leaves were turning
I was learnin' what's not right to do
The same things that I believe in
When I'm in need of help
Don't leave me on the concrete
Crying by myself
[Chorus]
Runnin' down the alleyway
That we took home from school
We were hand in hand and face to face
You told me I'm a fool
It's goes one by one and two by two
I tried not to be cruel
She said, "Wait for me on Second Street
I'll see you after school"
