  • I was running late for a night downtown
    Me and the boys gonna tie one down
    So I took a short cut through an alleyway
    And this sound just took my breath away

    There she stood with just one guitar
    Looking much too good to be in this bar
    I tried to leave but my feet were lead
    And the song she played just filled my head

    'Cos when she sang out that melody, I heard a sound like a backstreet symphony
    My senses sung my head was spun, as I walked through the door
    I gotta hear some more

    So I watched the show in a state of trance
    Staying 'til the end waiting for a chance
    To meet with her and make her mine
    And keep her there 'til the end of time

    When she unfolded that melody, I heard a sound like a backstreet symphony
    My destiny had guided me through the bar room door
    I got to hear some more, I wanna hear some more


    'Cos when she sang out that melody, I heard a sound like a backstreet symphony
    My destiny had guided me through the bar room door, through the door
    I gotta hear some more, I got to got to got to got to hear some more
    Backstreet love... Writer/s: LUKE MORLEY
