OUT IN THE STREETS
He don't hang around with the gang no more he don't do the wild things that he did before
He used to act bad used to but he quit it it makes me so sad 'cause I know that he did it for me (yes he did) and I can see (still in the street) his heart his heart is out in the street (out in the street)
He don't comb his hair like he did before he don't wear those dirty old black boots no more
But he's not the same there's something 'bout his kisses that tells me he's changed I know there's something missing inside something died
(out in the street) his heart his heart is out in the street
He grew up on the sidewalk streetlight shining above he grew up with no one to love
He grew up on the sidewalk he grew up running free he grew up and then he met me
He don't hang around with the gang no more gee he doesn't smile like he did before
I wish I didn't care I wish I'd never met him they're waiting out there so I got to set him free (wish I didn't care) he's gotta be (out in the street) his heart his heart is out in the street
He don't hang around with the gang no more (he's out in the street) he don't hang around with the gang no more (he's out in the street) he don't hang around |
