HERE SHE COMES^©

Well sometimes at night when I lie in bed
I still see her face running 'round my head
Well sometimes at night when I lie in bed
I still see her face running 'round my head

Here she comes walking down the street
Here she comes walking down the street
She's looking so fine, she's looking so sweet
Yes she's looking so fine, she's looking so sweet
And someday I'm gonna make her mine, I know I will
Someday I'm gonna make her mine, I know I will

Someday she's gonna stop instead of walking by
She's gonna stop now instead of walking by
She's gonna stop instead of walking on by
She's gonna stop

Oh my little girl, little girl, little girl, little girl, little girl, little girl
Little girl, little girl, little girl, little girl
Ah little girl, little girl, little girl, little girl
Little girl, little girl, little girl, little girl
Little girl, little girl, little girl, little girl
Little girl, little girl, little girl
Ah little girl, little girl, little girl
Ah little girl, little girl, little girl, little girl
Little girl, little girl, little girl, little girl

Those are the ones I am sure of, but the song was most probably performed much more during that tour.

The above lyrics refer to the 05 Nov 1980 performance and Little Steven and Clarence Clemons were signing backup vocals. The last ever performance of the HERE SHE COMES / I WANNA MARRY YOU sequence was on 11 Sep 1981.

It is rumoured that there exists a Born To Run outtake under the title HERE SHE COMES. I don't know whether it is the same song or a completely different one. Probably not.

Song intro on 05 Nov 1980 at Arizona State University Activity Centre, Tempe, AZ:

Alright, keep it down. Oh. There's a lot of pretty girls in this town, you know (chuckles and cheers). That's right. Must be the weather or something, must do something to your genes or something, alright? ??? (chuckles). Me and Clarence we used to sit on my porch, oh, let me see, 31, 11, 12 years ago. And uh, we used to watch this one girl go by all the time. She used to, I guess she used to work downtown. And she was, she seemed like a lot older than we were. She had a couple of kids and... we used to just watch her. And, sometimes, sometimes there's people that you only see for a little bit. You, you don't forget 'em for some reason. People that you've only seen for, driving by in a car or who walk by you on the street. And uh, remember that one girl Big Man?
