Leader Of The Pack Lyrics By The Shangri Las

    is she really going out with him
    well there she is let’s ask her
    betty is that jimmy’s ring you’re wearing
    mhm
    gee it must be great riding with him is he picking you up after school today
    mm
    by the way where’d you meet him

    i met him at the candy store
    he turned around and smiled at me
    you get the picture
    yes we see
    that’s when i fell for the leader of the pack

    my folks were always putting him down
    down down
    they said he came from the wrong side of town
    what you mean when you say that he came from the wrong side of town
    they told me he was bad
    but i knew he was sad
    that’s why i fell for the leader of the pack

    one day my dad said find someone new
    i had to tell my jimmy we’re through
    what you mean when you say that you better go find somebody new
    he stood there and asked me why
    but all i could do was cry
    i’m sorry i hurt you the leader of the pack

    he sort of smiled and kissed me goodbye
    the tears were beginning to show
    as he drove away on that rainy night
    i begged him to go slow
    whether he heard
    i’ll never know

    no no no no no no no
    look out look out look out look out

    i felt so helpless what could i do
    remembering all the things we’ve been through
    in school they all stop and stare
    i can’t hide my tears but i don’t care
    i’ll never forget him the leader of the pack

    ooh oohoohooh

    leader of the pack now he’s gone
    leader of the pack now he’s gone
    leader of the pack now he’s gone
    leader of the pack now he’s gone
