We're in the heart of the city
Where the alligator roam
I'm a little lost man
Ain't got no place to go
I ain't got one penny
Just got a shirt on my bag
I left home in a hurry
I ain't never goin' back
I'm lookin' for a home in the heart of the city

Well I'm a steppin' on the street
And I'm a steppin' off the end
Yeah I'm lookin' for a lover
Lookin' lookin' everywhere
Maybe I'm in with a chance
I hear a clickety clack
It's a girl my lord
I see her stop, check, turn and double back
I'm lookin' for a lover in the heart of the city

I'm lookin' I'm lookin' I'm lookin' I'm lookin'
I'm lookin' lookin' lookin' lookin' everywhere
In the heart of the city

Heart heart of the city
Heart heart oh yeah
Heart heart of the city
Heart heart oh yeah

We're in the heart of the city
We're across of the stars
I hear the crash of music
And a thousand guitars
And the boys are on the prowl
And they're checkin' on me
You know a bird up in the hand
Is worth two out on the streets
Checkin' on neat in the heart of the city

Heart heart of the city
Heart heart oh yeah
Heart heart of the city
Heart heart oh yeah
