I met him at the candy store

He turned around and smiled at me - you get the picture

That's when I fell for - the leader of the pack



My folks were always putting him down

They said 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 Jim we were through

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

And as he left me on that rainy night

I begged him to go slow

But whether he heard, I'll never know



I felt so helpless - what could I do?

Remembering all the things we'd been through

At school they all stop and stare

I can't hide the tears, but I don't care

I'll never forget you - the leader of the pack.



The leader of the pack - now he's gone

The leader of the pack - now he's gone

The leader of the pack - now he's gone.
