Lyrics
Hey, hey
Take a walk around midnight in the city
Young blood is hiding there somewhere
Done looking for something to do
Something's happening there
I and Bragger borrowed a coupe today
Here come Pepe and she's got a friend in a Chevrolet
But she ain't running no more, she's just walking a little slow
And she ain't crying no more, she's just singin' a little low
Singin', oh, oh-oh
They say this city will make you dirty, but you look alright
Feel real pretty when he's holding you tight
City will make you mean, but that's just makeup on your face
Love will find you in the next disgrace
Find a block where your people can find you
Keep your third eye watching behind you
Never know when you're making a memory
They wish they were here together again, someday
Kid looking for something to get into, take a look
Two for the movie show, three in the back row, hold on tight
You remember, you might have looked like cool 12
But your fuse was dynamite
City will make you dirty, but you look alright
Feel real pretty when he's holding you tight
City will make you mean, but darlin', that's just makeup on your face
Love will find you to get it caved on, you know, yeah
Take a walk around midnight in the city
Young blood is hiding there, somewhere
Done looking for something to do
Something's happening there, oh, oh
Something's happening there, ooh, ooh
Something's happening there, hey, hey
Look at here, y'all
Yeah, yeah
Oh, hey
There she goes, my-
Alright
