Wild In The Streets
Joey comes from a sacred part of town
where sometimes you talk so tough,
your feet don't touch the ground.
And the sidewalk soldiers sing their midnight blues
while the old men recite their story lines
'bout "When I was young like you..."
They say:
Oh, yeah,
we were cruising to the backbeat.
Oh, yeah,
making love in the back seat.
And ooh, we were wild, wild in the streets.
Wild, wild in the streets
A member of the boy's brigade
had a date with the girl next door.
You know it made her daddy crazy,
it only made her want him more.
But they weren't looking for trouble,
that boy didn't wanna fight (not tonight)
so she headed out through her bathroom window.
What her daddy didn't know was gonna be alright.
She sang:
Oh, yeah,
we're cruising to the backbeat.
Oh, yeah,
making love in the back seat.
And ooh,
we were wild, wild in the streets.
Wild, wild in the streets.
We were wild, wild in the streets.
Wild, wild in the streets.
Sometimes this town ain't pretty,
but you know it ain't so bad,
just like a girl who looks so happy
when inside she's so, so sad.
In here, we got this code of honor,
no one's going down.
You don't walk in vain through the kid's parade,
'cause this is my hometown.
Wild, wild in the streets.
Wild, wild in the streets.
We were wild, wild in the streets.
Wild, wild in the streets.
Yeah, we were wild in the streets.
Wild in the streets.
Wild in the streets.
Wild in the streets.
Wild in the streets.
Oh, we were wild in the streets.
Oh, wild in the streets.
Oh, wild in the streets.
Wild...
