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

'Cause 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 got to some more

Oh, that's right, that's right

'Cause 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, gotta hear some more
I got to, got to, got to, got to hear some more
Backstreet love

Hey baby, yeah you
That's right, come over here
I think I love you
Think I need you
