We're in the heart of the city, where the alligator roams
I'm a little lost lamb, ain't got no place to go
I ain't got one penny, just got a shirt on my back
I left home in a hurry, and I ain't never goin' back
I'm lookin' for a home in the heart of the city

Well I'm a standin' 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
There'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', lookin' everywhere
In the heart of the city

We're in the heart of the city, we're in the heart 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
They know a bird up in the hand, is worth two out on the streets
Checkin' on neat in the heart of the city

I said a heart heart of the city
Heart heart, oh yeah
Heart heart of the city
Heart heart, oh yeah
