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 the 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 back beat

(Oh, yeah) Making love in the backseat

And, ooh, we were wild, wild in the streets

Wild, wild in the streets

A member of the boys 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 want a fight (not tonight)

So she headed out through her bathroom window

What her daddy didn't know was gonna be alright

They say (oh yeah), we're cruising to the back beat

(Oh, yeah) Making love in the backseat

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, rock me

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 trough the kids 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, yeah, we were wild in the streets

Oh-oh-oh, wild in the streets

Oh-oh-oh, wild in the streets

Wild
