Lyrics

[Verse 1] Living on the street tonight A lonely place to be all right, oh lord The rhythm of the city, I don't find it pretty anymore Like I did before you walked out my door [Chorus] Give me back the beat, give me back the beat Give me back the only thing that makes my life complete If you come back to me, I'll be dancing in the street I miss the tune we had before that made me tap my feet That used to rock this boy asleep now that you're gone Give me back the beat and let's rock on [Verse 2] I feel the pounding of your heart But I'm alone here in the dark, it's true Alleys filled with misery Shadows of your memories break through I never knew how much i needed you [Chorus] Give me back the beat, give me back the beat Give me back the only thing that makes my life complete If you come back to me, I'll be dancing in the street I miss the tune we had before that made me tap my feet That used to rock this boy asleep now that you're gone Give me back the beat and let's rock on [Bridge] I won't sleep, baby, I can't eat, I'm in too deep It's a high fall running into a brick wall All by yourself, but I know what will help [Guitar Solo] [Outro] That used to rock this boy asleep now that you're gone So give me back the beat, you got to Give me back the beat, give me back the beat Give me back the only thing that makes my life complete If you come back to me, I'll be dancing in the street I miss the tune we had before that made me tap my feet That used to rock this boy asleep now that you're gone So give me back the beat and let's rock on So give me back the beat and let's rock on Give me back the beat And let's rock on Let's rock on, baby
