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
(Can't you see now) And I can see (It's still in the streets) His heart, is out in the streets
He don't comb his hair like he did before And 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, is out in the streets
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 streets) His heart is out in the streets
He don't hang around with the gang no more (Out in the streets) He don't hang around with the gang no more (Out in the streets)
He don't hang around with the gang no more (Out in the streets) He don't hang around with the gang no more (Out in the streets)
