Out in the Streets - The Shangri-Las/Blondie

  
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 make me so sad 'cause I know that he did it  for me
(Yes, he did now)

And I can see (it's still in the streets) his heart, 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, somethin' about his kissin'
That tells me he's changed
I know that something's missing inside
(Mumble, mumble)

Somethin's died  (it's still in the streets) his heart, out in the street
He grew up on the sidewalk streetlight shinin' 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 waitin' downstairs
I know I've got to set him free
(Mumble, mumble)

He's gotta be (out in the street)
His heart is out in the street
He don't hang around with the gang no more
(Out in the street)
He don't hang around with the gang no more
(Out in the street)
He don't hang around with the gang no more
(Out in the street)
