So scared I never been   Too hard to keep it in   Good girl, independent citizen   But you can't go back   No they never let you back   Same dance different hall   Some guys they get it all   But you can't go back   And they're ready to attack   And you can't go back   And you're terrified   You're gonna fall      [Chorus:]   Take it from the boys in the street   Take it from the boys   Take it from the boys that you meet   Making all that noise   They got you sipping   On a dry martini on a rack   They're slipping out   The back door no slack   Maybe it's the same   With every man you meet   You might as well be wise   And take it from the boys   In the streets   Take it from the boys   Take it from the boys   You might as well be wise   And take it from the boys   In the streets   Take it from the boys   Take it from the boys   You might as well be wise   And take it from the boys      Do this and promise that   Well that's how they're all about   Watch out, you're dealing with a photostat   When they say they care it's a bonify affair   Look out, beware of the businessman   Express American, he'll be gone so fast   Cause he travels first class   With his now and powie stash   And his heart unofficial glass      [Chorus x2]   [ad libs]
