Wild in the Streets

[Verse 1] 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 storylines 'Bout when I was young like you [Pre-Chorus] They say (Oh yeah) We were cruisin' to the backbeat (Oh yeah) Makin' love in the backseat [Chorus] And ooh, we were wild, wild in the streets Wild, wild in the streets [Verse 2] A member of the boy's 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 [Pre-Chorus] She said (Oh yeah) We're cruisin' to the backbeat (Oh yeah) Makin' love in the backseat [Chorus] 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 [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] 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 goin' down You don't walk in vain Through the kid's parade 'Cause this is my hometown [Chorus] Wild, wild in the streets Wild, wild in the streets And we were wild, wild in the streets Wild, wild in the streets [Outro] Yeah, we were wild in the streets Wild in the streets Wild in the streets Wild in the streets Wild in the streets Oh, we were wild in the streets Woah-oh-oh, wild in the streets Woah-oh-oh, wild in the streets Wild
