Young Blood Lyrics - Rickie Lee Jones - Rickie Lee Jones

Take a walk around midnight in the city 

Young blood is hiding there somewhere 

If you're looking for something to do 

There's always something happening there 

Like I & Bragger, we borrowed a coupe today 

Here come Pepe and she's got a friend in a Chevrolet 

But she ain't running, she's walking a little slow 

And she ain't crying, she's just singin' a little low 

They say this city will make you dirty, but you look alright 

You feel real pretty when he's holding you tight 

City will make you mean but that's just make-up on your face 

Love will wash you clean in the night's disgrace 

Find a block where your people can find you 

Keep your third eye watching behind you 

You never know when you're making a memory 

They will wish they were here together again, someday 

Kids looking for something to get into, take a look 

Two for the movie show, three in the back row, hold on tight 

Remember, you might have looked like cool twelve 

But your fuse felt just like dynamite 

This city will make you dirty, but you look alright 

You feel real pretty when he's holding you tight 

City will make you mean but darlin', that's just make-up on your face 

Love will wash you clean in the night 

Take a walk around midnight in the city 

Young blood will find you there, somewhere 

And if you're looking for something to do 

There's always something happening there 

Something's happening there 

Something's happening there 

Look here, y'all
