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
