It can be interpreted as a plea for her to notice him and give him a chance. The repetition of the line "Come on, come on, she's standing at the corner" emphasizes his longing for her. Towards the end of the song, there is a shift in the lyrics where the narrator expresses a wish to have more to offer the woman. The lines "Wish I could pull up in something new, get her feeling over the moon" and "Wish I could get up to something good, make her feel like she should" suggest that the narrator wishes he could impress her and make her feel special. Overall, "She's Standing At The Corner" is a song about unrequited love or infatuation. The lyrics depict the narrator's admiration from afar and his yearning for a deeper connection with the woman he sees every day.
