Out In The Streets (1974 Session)

Ooh
Ooh, ooh ooh-ooh

[Refrain]
He don't hang around
With the gang no more
He don't do the wild things
That he did before

[Verse 1]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
He used to act bad
He used to
But he quit it

It makes me so sad
But I know that he did it for me
(yes he did)
And I can see
His heart, his heart
Is out in the street

[Refrain]
He don't comb his hair
Like he did before
He don't wear those dirty old
Black boots no more

[Verse 2]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
But he's not the same
There's something about his kisses
That tells me he's changed
I know there's something missing inside
(Ooh-ah)
Something died
His heart, his heart
Is out in the streets

[Bridge]
He grew up on the sidewalk
Streetlights 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

[Refrain]
He don't hang around
With the gang no more
Gee, he doesn't smile
Like he did before

[Verse 3]
(ooh, ooh ooh-ooh)
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 got to be
(out in the street)
His heart, his heart is out in the street

[Outro]
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
