Lyrics
Take a walk around midnight in the city
Young blood is hiding there somewhere
If you're looking for something to do
There's always something happening there
Like I and Bragger, we borrowed a coupe today
Here come Pepe and she's got a friend in a Chevrolet
But she ain't running, she's just walking a little slow
And she ain't crying, she's just singing a little low
They say this city will make you dirty, but you look alright
You feel real pretty when he's holding you tight
City will make you mean but that's a makeup on your face
Love will wash you clean in the night's disgrace
Find a block where your people can find you
Keep your third eye watching behind you
You never know when you're making a memory
They will wish they were here together again, someday
Kids looking for something to get into, take a look
Two for the movie show, three in the back row, hold on tight
Remember, you might have looked like cool twelve
But your fuse felt just like dynamite
City will make you dirty, but you look alright
And you feel real pretty when he's holding you tight
City will make you mean but darling, that's a makeup on your face
Love will wash you clean in the night
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Take a walk around midnight in the city
Young blood will find you there, somewhere
And if you're looking for something to do
There's always something happening there, ooh-ooh
Something's happening there, ooh-ooh-ooh
Something's happening there
Look a' here, y'all
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, oh yeah
