The Boy - The Shangri-Las

Written by：Ellie Greenwich/Jeff Barry

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

Something about his kissing

That tells me he's changed

I know that something's missing

Inside

Mumble mumble

Somethings died

It's still in the streets

His heart out in the street

He grew up on the sidewalk

Streetlight 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

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 waiting downstairs

I know I've got to set him

Free

Mumble mumble

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
