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
