Edwin Starr - Back Street lyrics

rate me

(Back street)<br />

(Back street)<br />

<br />

I've been living off of Main Street<br />

Where society is the thing<br />

But people that live on Main Street<br />

They don't know how to swing<br />

But the people on the back street<br />

They swing, all night long<br />

Although I live on the main street<br />

The back streets is where I belong<br />

<br />

So, show me the back street<br />

Show me the back street<br />

Show me the back streets<br />

Show me the back streets, mmm, yeah<br />

<br />

(Ooo) where people walkin' side by side<br />

Without knowing each other's name<br />

(Ooo) and soul is the only thing you need<br />

To join right in and swing<br />

Where people stick together<br />

One for all and all for one<br />

Where they don't care how much money you got<br />

As long as you're havin' fun<br />

<br />

So, show me the back street<br />

Show me the back streets<br />

Show me the back streets, come on<br />

Show me the back street, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah<br />

<br />

(Come on) mmm (show me the back street)<br />

<br />

(Ooo) bein' a stranger in any town<br />

Is a very lonesome thing<br />

(Ooo) but if I find the back streets of any town<br />

I know I'll find a friend<br />

<br />

So, show me the back street<br />

Show me the back streets<br />

Show me the back streets, baby<br />

Show me the back street<br />

<br />

(Come on) show me (show me the back street) show me the back street<br />

(Come on show me) baby (the back street) come on and show me<br />

(Come on show me) show me (the back street) the back streets, baby<br />

(Come on) Mmm (show me the back street)<br />

(Come on) yeah (show me) I know that (the back street) that's where it will be<br />

(Come on) Mmm (show me the back street)
