(Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oooo.)

He don't hang around,
With the gang no more.
An' he don't do the wild things,
That he did before.
(Ooo-ooo-ooo-oooo.)
He used to act bad.
Used to, but he quit it.
It makes me so sad,
'Cause I know that he did it for me.
(Can't you see?)
And I can see,
(It's still in the street),
His heart is out in the street.

He don't comb his hair,
Like he did before.
And he don't wear those dirty, old,
Black boots no more.
(Ooo-ooo-ooo-oooo.)
But he's not the same.
Somethin' about his kissin',
That tells me he's changed.
I know that something's missin' inside.
(Know somethin'.)
Somethin's died,
(It's still in the street),
His heart is out in the street.

He grew up on the sidewalk,
Streetlight shinin' above.
He grew up with no one to love.
He grew up on the sidewalk.
He grew up runnin' free.
He grew up and then he met me.

He don't hang around,
With the gang no more.
Gee, he doesn't smile,
Like he did before.
(Ooo-ooo-ooo-oooo.)
I wish I didn't care,
I wish I'd never met him.
They're waitin' out there,
I know I've got to set him free.
(Good luck.)

(Out in the street.)
His heart is out in the street.

He don't hang around,
With the gang no more.
(Out in the street.)
He don't hang around,
With the gang no more.
(Out in the street.)
He don't hang around,
Fade.
With the gang no more.
(Out in the street.)
He don't hang around,
With the gang no more.
(Out in the street.)
He don't hang around with...

1Personnel: Identical twins, Mary Anne & Marguerite "Marge" Ganser and
siblings, Mary & Elizabeth "Betty" Weiss1a, formed the original act. Mary
Weiss was the main, lead singer, Betty, however, took lead on "Maybe," and
a number of B-sides and album tracks, Marge Ganser took lead on "I'm Blue"
and Mary Ann Ganser took the lead on "Sophisticated Boom Boom."

1aBecause Betty was underage, her mother did not allow her to tour until
1966, when she became 18. As a result she often did not appear in photos,
and many fans believed the Shangri-Las were a trio. Few pictures show all 4
of the girls.

2Covered by: Blondie, God Is My Co-Pilot, Versus, et al.
