"Streetfighter" lyrics
Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons Lyrics
I was born in the heart of the city
Concrete and bricks
Softened by my mama's kisses
Hardened by my daddy's fists
The big guy wanted a quarter
My lunch money every day
But when I showed him my baseball bat
The big guy backed away
(He backed away)
You know you might get beat
But no matter who you meet
You never cross the street and retreat
When you're a streetfighter
You learn your way around
You learn to get up
When you're knocked down
You get up off the ground
And take the next round
Streetfighter
I know how to jump over rooftops
I know how to wire a car
I know how to deal with people on the street
That's not where you are
You come from a special place
A place I don't quite understand
Baby I would change the world for you
But I can't change who I am
Now you say you're leaving
Someone you've been talking to
But I ain't about to step aside
And let him walk away, walk away with you
You know you might get beat
But no matter who you meet
You never cross the street and retreat
When you're a streetfighter
You learn your way around
You learn to get up
When you're knocked down
You get up off the ground
And take the next round
Streetfighter
(You learn your way around)
(Streetfighter)
(Get up)
(Now you say you're leaving)
Say you're leaving
(Someone you've been talking to)
Someone you've been talking to
(I ain't about to step aside)
And let him walk away, walk away with you
(Streetfighter)
(You know you might get beat but no matter who you meet)
You know you might get beat
(You never cross the street and retreat when you're a streetfighter)
But you never cross the street
(You learn your way around, you learn to get up when you're knocked down)
Learn your way around
(You get up off the ground and take the next round)
You learn to get up when you're knocked down
(Streetfighter)
(Get up, streetfighter)
(Get up, streetfighter)
(Born in the heart, heart of the city)
(Born in the heart, heart of the city)
Where I was born
(Born in the heart, heart of the city)
In the heart of the city, oh yeah
(Born in the heart, heart of the city)
I ain't leaving, no way, leaving you girl
I ain't going nowhere
I don't care what you said, care what you do
I ain't leaving, I ain't leaving you
(Get up)
(Born in the heart, heart of the city)
(Streetfighter)
(Born in the heart, heart of the city)
(Get up)
(Born in the heart, heart of the city)
(Streetfighter)
(Born in the heart, heart of the city)
(Get up)
(Born in the heart, heart of the city)
Ain't going nowhere, I ain't going nowhere
(Born in the heart, heart of the city)
(Born in the heart, heart of the city)
(Born in the heart, heart of the city)
(Born in the heart, heart of the city)
Concrete and bricks

Hardened by my daddy's fists

You know you might get beat
But no matter who you meet
You never cross the street and retreat
When you're a streetfighter
You learn your way around
You learn to get up

(Born in the heart, heart of the city)
(Streetfighter)
(Born in the heart, heart of the city)
(Get up)
(Born in the heart, heart of the city)
Ain't going nowhere, I ain't going nowhere
(Born in the heart, heart of the city)
(Born in the heart, heart of the city)
(Born in the heart, heart of the city)
(Born in the heart, heart of the city)
