The Deborah Harry song catalog you find on this page was compiled by me, the webmaster, with the help of my personal record collection, booklets, biographies, setlists, ASCAP, the LoC (Library of Congress), articles and (live) bootlegs. It's my goal to create a page which features Deborah's complete musical body of work, no matter if Deborah was in any way musically involved herself or whether she contributed her own lyrics to a project. In order to keep up the standard of this page and to make it grow you can help by submitting song titles and/or information which are missing on this site. Every contribution is greatly appreciated. Official song lyrics were taken from booklets. I transcribed those songs myself where no official lyrics were available (with no guarantee for their accuracy). I apologize for possible errors and will gladly take corrections. I kindly ask you not to copy any of these lyrics from this page.
All song pages include links to the albums, singles and/or live albums which they were released on. Best Ofs and soundtracks were only listed if there is a special mix available on the record or the song title itself was previously unreleased.

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
