She sits there at her window,
watching all the world go by
she looks longingly at the front door
ans silently she cries.
Just who can be the savior of this self-made prisoner
the girl on twenty second street,
Apartment twenty four.

She used to go out often
or so the neighbors say.
She let a young man love her
and steal her heart away.
He loved her for a summer
and then he came no more.
Not to the girl on twenty second street,
Apartment Twenty Four

So why can't she let it lie
and why won't she let the heartache pass her by.

She has let the pain consume her
locked inside of
the girl on twenty second street
Apartment Twenty Four.

Many years have gone by
and no one sees her face.
She stills sits at the window
and keeps her world in place.
She lets no human touch her
or bring love into her door.
Not to the girl on twenty second street
Apartment Twenty Four

So why can't she let it lie
and why won't she let the heartache pass her by.

She has let the pain consume her
locked inside of
the girl on twenty second street
Apartment Twenty Four.
