Lyrics

[Verse 1] Put on your best dress, baby And darlin', fix your hair up right 'Cause there's a party, honey Way down beneath the neon lights All day you've been working that hard line Now, tonight, you're gonna have a good time [Verse 2] I work five days a week, girl Loading crates down on the dock I take my hard-earned money And meet my girl down on the block And Monday when the foreman calls time I've already got Friday on my mind [Pre-Chorus] When that whistle blows, girl, I'm down the street I'm home, I'm out of my work clothes [Chorus] When I'm out in the street, wo-oh-oh-oh-oh I walk the way I wanna walk When I'm out in the street, wo-oh-oh-oh-oh I talk the way I wanna talk When I'm out in the street, when I'm out in the street (Oh, oh-oh) [Verse 3] When I'm out in the street, girl Well, I never feel alone When I'm out in the street, girl In the crowd, I feel at home The black-and-whites, they cruise by And they watch us from the corner of their eye [Pre-Chorus] But there ain't no doubt, girl, down here We ain't gonna take what they're handing out [Chorus] When I'm out in the street, wo-oh-oh-oh-oh I walk the way I wanna walk When I'm out in the street, wo-oh-oh-oh-oh I talk the way I wanna talk [Bridge] Baby, out in the street, I don't feel sad or blue Baby, out in the street, I'll be waiting for you [Instrumental Break] [Pre-Chorus] When the whistle blows girl, I'm down the street I'm home, I'm out of my work clothes [Chorus] When I'm out in the street, wo-oh-oh-oh-oh I walk the way I wanna walk When I'm out in the street, wo-oh-oh-oh-oh I talk the way I wanna talk [Chorus] When I'm out in the street, wo-oh-oh-oh-oh Pretty girls, they're all passing by When I'm out in the street, wo-oh-oh-oh-oh From the corner, we give them the eye [Outro] Baby, out in the street, I just feel all right Meet me out in the street, little girl, tonight Come! Meet me out in the street, meet me out in the street Whoa A-meet me out in the street Oh, meet me out in the street A-meet me out in the street Meet me out in the street I'm talking out in the street Meet me out in the street A-meet me out in the street Meet me out in the street I'm talking out in the street
