Going back to the corner where I first saw you Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand Saying, "If you see this girl can you tell her where I am?" Some try to hand me money, they don't understand I'm not broke I'm just a broken hearted man I know it makes no sense but what else can I do How can I move on when I'm still in love with you 'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be Thinkin' maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet And you'll see me waiting for you on our corner of the street So I'm not moving, I'm not moving Policeman says, "son you can't stay here" I said, "there's someone I'm waiting for if it's a day, a month, a year" Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go 'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet And you'll see me waiting for you on our corner of the street So I'm not moving, I'm not moving I'm not moving, I'm not moving People talk about the guy that's waiting on a girl There are no holes in his shoes but a big hole in his world Maybe I'll get famous as the man who can't be moved Maybe you won't mean to but you'll see me on the news And you'll come running to the corner 'Cause you'll know it's just for you I'm the man who can't be moved I'm the man who can't be moved 'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me (find that you're missing me) And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be (where on this earth I could be) Thinkin' maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet (to the place that we'd meet) And you'll see me waiting for you on our corner of the street (So I'm not moving) 'cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me (I'm not moving) and your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be (I'm not moving) thinkin' maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet (I'm not moving) and you'll see me waiting for you on our corner of the street Going back to the corner where I first saw you Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move
