| 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 |
