The Stylistics
Doin’ the Streets
[Verse]
I remember when she was a child, she lived next door to me
We walked to school together everyday
Sunshine in her smile, pink ribbons in her hair
What a pretty picture that child made
I remember when she hit her teens, she lived next door to me
We rode the bus to high school everyday
We talked about our dreams, spent hours on the phone
Always had a million things to say
[Chorus]
My pretty little girl (pretty little girl) that's what she used to be (pretty little girl)
What's she doing now, she's doin' the streets (doin' the streets)
And I can't believe (pretty little girl)
No no I can't believe (pretty little girl)
My pretty little girl is doin' the streets (doin' the streets)
[Verse]
I remember when her daddy died she moved away from me
And she went wrong somewhere along the way
God I should've tried to help her where I could
Now I've got to live with my mistake
[Chorus]
My pretty little girl (pretty little girl) that's what she used to be (pretty little girl)
What's she doing now, she's doin' the streets (doin' the streets)
And I can't believe (pretty little girl)
No no I can't believe (pretty little girl)
My pretty little girl is doin' the streets (doin' the streets)
