Certain things you do Really make me mad I must confess The way the streetlight silhouttes your thighs inside your dress Wild child in the streets I think I see you But I really don't know Goin' a million miles an hour Headed out to where the down boys go Woah Can we rewind to where we've been Ooh I wish you'd take a look and see the shape I'm in Where the down boys go, go. Where the down boys go, go Where the down boys go I wanna go where the down boys go Baby You comb your hair Put on your shades You look so cool Gimme the run-around Make me feel like a fool You got a lot of nerve to call me cheap Even though it's true I don't care where we go tonight Just take me along with you Woah Can we rewind to where we've been Ooh I wish you'd take a look and see the shape I'm in Where the down boys go, go. Where the down boys go, go Where the down boys go I wanna go where the down boys go Certain things you do Really make me mad I must confess The way the streetlight silhouttes Your thighs inside your dress Woah Can we rewind to where we've been Ooh I wish you'd take a look and see the shape I'm in Where the down boys go, go. Where the down boys go, go Where the down boys go I wanna go where the down boys go, yeah Where the down boys go Where the down boys go Where the down boys go Where they go---
