Where the streets are paved With chewing gum and beer Where the wisest of men Are the men you don't ever see around here Where the aftershave is killing every taste Where the women forgot What they got all dressed up for in the very first place And when all that you need Is just a little room to breathe When you dance this thin, thin line Oh man, you better be kind And you better be kind Or stop wasting, wasting my time And you better be kind ♪ At the age you're sixteen, you feeling wise and old And the streets of your dreams Seem to be paved with sex and gold Where the booze makes fools, feels so lion strong When the morning time drops all it's "Here you go's", down, oh man, what have I done And when all that you need Is just a little room to breathe When the best that you can Doesn't cut it for them When all that you see Is what they want you to see When you dance this thin, thin line Oh man, you better be kind You better be kind Or stop wasting, wasting my time And you better be kind Ooh, you better be kind
