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
(Somethin's gone)
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...
(Send him back)
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)
