Up In The Streets Of Harlem Lyrics - Singles - The Drifters

Up in the streets of Harlem, 110th and Park 

That's where my baby waits for me, there in the dark 

And I'm going, going, going, going, going, gonna tell her, tonight 

Oh baby, don't wait for me I've got to go now 

Baby, don't you see we've got to show now 

That this world is much too slow now 

Up in the streets of Harlem (Harlem), 100th, 25th 

They say we always swing there what a lie what a myth 

And I'm going, going, going, going, going, gonna tell her, tonight 

Oh baby, don't turn your back on me I'm leaving 

I've gotta fight for what I believe in 

Don't want no more of hate and grievin' 

You know that I love you, but I'm going away 

From the streets, the streets of Harlem 

From the streets, the streets of Harlem 

Up in the streets of Harlem (Harlem), the tenements and the dirt 

I see my baby's face there full of shame, full of hurt 

And I'm going, going, going, going, going, gonna tell her, tonight 

Oh baby, please let me go, my friends are dyin' 

I can't sleep 'cause I know they're tryin' 

To keep the little ones from cryin' 

In the streets, the streets of Harlem 

In the streets, the streets of Harlem 

In the streets, the streets of Harlem
