The other night we went to see Sam's play
|
doin' the things that we want to
|
It was very physical it held you to the stage
|
doin' the things that he wants to
|
|
Doin' the things that he wants to
|
|
The guy's a cowboy from some rodeo
|
doin' the things that he wants to
|
The girl had once loved him, but now she want to go
|
doin' the things that she wants to
|
|
Doin' the things that she wants to
|
|
The man was bullish, the woman was a tease
|
doin' the things that they want to
|
They fought with their words, their bodies and their deeds
|
doin' the things that they want to
|
When they finished fighting, they exited the stage
|
doin' the things that they want to
|
I was firmly struck by the way they had behaved
|
doin' the things that they want to
|
|
Doin' the things that they want to
|
hey
|
|
It reminds me of the movies Marty made about New York
|
(doin' the things that he wants to)
|
Those frank and brutal movies that are so brilliant
|
(doin' the things that he wants to)
|
"True Love" meet "The Raging Bull"
|
(doin' the things that he wants to)
|
They're very inspirational, I love the things they do
|
(doin' the things that he wants to)
|
|
Doin' the things that I want to
|
|
There's not much you hear on the radio today
|
(doin' the things that we want to)
|
But you could still see a movie or a play
|
(doin' the things that we want to)
|
Here's to "Travis Bickle" and here's "Johnny Boy"
|
(doin' the things that we want to)
|
Growing up in the Mean Streets of New York
|
(doin' the things that we want to)
|
I wrote this song 'cause I'd like to shake your hand
|
(doin' the things that we want to)
|
In a way you guys are the best friends I ever had
|
(doin' the things that we want to)
|
|
Doin' the things that we want to
|
|
That we want to
|
A true love
