You keep me hanging like a kid on a corner
Just because you think you can
Don't be so certain that I'll always be there
Just because I've always been
People change and I've been changing
Don't you notice after all this time?

I'm not gonna be
Just a kid on a corner
Hiding my heart
Saving my love any longer
I'm not gonna be
Just a kid on a corner
A kid on a corner

You should know by now that everything changes
Even stars fall from the sky
So if your nights all seem a little bit colder
Just remember so do mine
Once I tried, now I'm through trying
You still don't know me after all this time

I'm not gonna be
Just a kid on a corner
Hiding my heart
Saving my love any longer
I'm going to be
Just a kid on a corner
A kid on a corner

Looking down the street
Out across the night
It took some time to see
But my heart is mine

I'm not gonna be
Just a kid on a corner
Hiding my heart
Saving my love

I'm going to be
Just a kid on a corner
Breaking my heart

I'm not gonna be
Just a kid on a corner

Tiffany Renee Darwish (born October 2, 1971), simply known by her mononym Tiffany, is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and former teen icon. She is most notable for her 1987 cover of “I Think We’re Alone Now,” a song originally recorded by Tommy James and the Shondells in 1967. Released as the second single from her eponymous album, Tiffany, the song quickly became a teen anthem. Thanks to an original mall tour, "The Beautiful You: Celebrating The Good Life Shopping Mall Tour ‘87”, Tiffany found commercial success; both the single and the album peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard 200 charts, respectively. The singles “Could’ve Been” and “I Saw Him Standing There”, a cover version of The Beatles’ “I Saw Her Standing There”, followed soon after, with the former also claiming the No. 1 position on the Hot 100.

Tiffany was born in 1971 to James Robert Darwish and Janie Wilson, who divorced when she was very young. She grew up in Norwalk, California.

Tiffany began singing around 1975 when she was four years old and learned the words to the song “Delta Dawn”. After the divorce, she resided with her father, but in her adolescence, she rebelled against his strict Baptist parenting. While attending Leffingwell Christian High School, a group of friends and she behaved in a manner which contravened school regulations; she acknowledged this on Celebrity Ghost Stories in 2012.
