lyrics

1.
Lexi was a big part of my youth
I still think of her fondly in that way
She worked in the bar and didn’t have a car
So, needed walking home at the end of each day
Oh, Lexi I wanted to catch your eye
Coz I so wanted to be that guy


2.
The local youths to tell you the truth
Used to compete to take on that role
Walking her through the park after dark
Was an experience you were sure to enjoy
When Lexi reached out for your hand
You knew it meant she had some fun planned

Chorus
Oh, Lexi. I always thought the world of you
Oh, Lexi, you meant so much to me it’s true
But Lexi I could never let you know
How it made me feel so bad when you chose another man
To walk you home


Chorus

3.
In the case of rain, we never used to complain
For the bandstand was there to come to our aid
Whatever the weather come closing time
All of us guys would wait outside
For Lexi to come out of the pub door
And to smile your way was what you hoped for


Chorus


4.
Then one sad day it came to a sudden end
When Lexi’s said that she had a new boyfriend
At closing time, he would come to the bar
All of us guys thought it a step too far
Oh, Lexi it was never the same again
Oh, why couldn’t I be your boyfriend

Chorus
Oh, Lexi. I always thought the world of you
Oh, Lexi, you meant so much to me it’s true
But Lexi I couldn’t let it show
I had to bottle up and not let the words go
Oh, Lexi why did it have to end
Oh, Lexi why couldn’t I be your boyfriend
Oh, Lexi tell me did you really never know
How it made me feel so bad when you chose another man
To walk you home
