Joseph Mulrey "Joe" McIntyre (born December 31, 1972) is an American singer-songwriter and actor. He is best known as the youngest member of the boy band New Kids on the Block. He has sold over 1 million records worldwide as a solo artist.
McIntyre was born in Needham, Massachusetts, the son of Thomas, a union official, and Katherine (Bowen) (died on November 30, 2014, after a long battle with Alzheimer's), a community theater actress. He is the youngest of nine children with older siblings, Judy, Alice, Susan, Tricia, Carol, Jean, Kate, and Tommy, in an Irish-American Catholic family. McIntyre graduated from Catholic Memorial High School in West Roxbury, Massachusetts, an all-male Catholic private school. He shares the same birth date as his sister, Carol. Another sister, Judy, is an actress.
Just before his 13th birthday, he joined New Kids on the Block, replacing Mark Wahlberg. Since the other four members of the band were already long-time school friends, he initially found it difficult to mesh with them. They became one of the most successful boy bands of the late 20th century, producing two number one albums on the US Billboard charts. In 1991, Forbes listed the band as the highest-earning entertainers, beating Madonna and Michael Jackson. They eventually split in 1994.
Last night I saw you and it wasn't enough
It's only been one day and I miss you so much
All I can think of is the look in your eyes
When you told that you loved me
Then you had to say goodbye
Walking my baby back home
I wonder what I got to do to get you alone
Walking my baby back home
Her daddy says I got to have her back before dawn
Remember when I touched you for the very first time
I'll never forget the night you made up your mind
I was so scared to let you know how I feel
Then you opened up to me
Now I know it's for real
I wonder if your daddy really knows
That you love me so
And I'll never let you go
I wonder if he's ever gonna see
What you mean to me
Will he set you free
