Lyrics

Wild in the streets, barely alive

Mama's always telling me, "Stay inside

Don't you hang around with those young boys

Soon, you'll be lovin' them, they're all night toys"

I wanna be where the boys are

I wanna fight how the boys fight

I wanna love how the boys love

I wanna be where the boys are

Hot love hear, I got the drive

Neighbors been buggin' me, I gotta hide

I am the bitch with the hot guitar

I am the air, the sun and stars

I wanna be where the boys are

I wanna fight how the boys fight

I wanna love how the boys love

I wanna be where the boys are

Wild in the streets, barely alive

Mama's always telling me, "Stay inside

Don't you hang around with those young boys

Soon, they'll be lovin' you with all their joy"

I wanna be where the boys are

I wanna fight how the boys fight

I wanna love how the boys love

I wanna be where the boys are
