Up In the Streets of Harlem
The Drifters

Up in the streets of Harlem, 110th and Park

That's where my baby waits for me, there in the dark

And I'm going, going, going, going, going, gonna tell her, tonight

Oh baby, don't wait for me I've got to go now

Baby, don't you see we've got to show now

That this world is much too slow now

Up in the streets of Harlem (Harlem), 100th, 25th

They say we always swing there what a lie what a myth

And I'm going, going, going, going, going, gonna tell her, tonight

Oh baby, don't turn your back on me I'm leaving

I've gotta fight for what I believe in

Don't want no more of hate and grievin'

You know that I love you, but I'm going away

From the streets, the streets of Harlem

From the streets, the streets of Harlem

Up in the streets of Harlem (Harlem), the tenements and the dirt

I see my baby's face there full of shame, full of hurt

And I'm going, going, going, going, going, gonna tell her, tonight

Oh baby, please let me go, my friends are dyin'

I can't sleep 'cause I know they're tryin'

To keep the little ones from cryin'

In the streets, the streets of Harlem

In the streets, the streets of Harlem

In the streets, the streets of Harlem
