Leader Of The Pack Lyrics - Singles - The Shangri-las

Mm--"Is she really going out with him? 

"Well, there she is, Let's ask her" 

"Betty, is that Jimmy's ring you're wearing?" 

"Mm-hm" 

"Gee, it must be great riding with him" 

"Is he picking you up after school today?" 

"Mm-mm" 

"By the way, where did 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

"Leader Of The Pack" is probably the most well-known 'teenage tragedy song,' which rose to popularity throughout the 50s (most likely due to the tragic death… See all 

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 Jimmy we're 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 

Do do 

He sort of smiled and kissed me good bye 

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 Look out! Look out! Look out! 

I felt so helpless, what could I do 

Remembering all the things we'd been through? 

In school they all stop and stare 

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

I'll never forget him, the leader of the pack 

Ooh, 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
