G                                 Am 
Standing on the corner of 6th how'd I forget

Trying to do right by you all night Annette

You can go ahead and get married  
 
Am 
and this will be our secret thing

I won't tell a soul except the people in the

nightclub where I sing

I don't want to get you all worked up

I'd be lying if I said I didn't

Standing on the corner of 6th  
Where do I go  
The parade's shut down now the rain is running the show  
Where did all these people come from  
And how soon can they leave  
Normally I1d be into it but I need to get some sleep  
 
Though I do wish you1d come over  
But I1m warning you if you do  
 
I'd be lying if I said I didn't  
have designs on you  
I'd be lying if I said I didn't  
have designs on you  
 
Standing on the corner of 6th  
Where do I get  
Trying to do right by you all night Annette  
This would only be an experiment  
In things that could have been  
You can go ahead and get married  
And it'll probably never happen again  
 
I don't mean to make you excited  
except secretly I do  
 
I'd be lying if I said I didn't  
have designs on you  
I'd be lying if I said I didn't  
have designs on you  
I'd be lying if I said I didn't  
have designs on you  
I'd be lying if I said I didn't  
have designs on you
