[Verse 1]
We're in the heart of the city where the alligator roams
I'm a little lost lamb, ain't got no place to go
Now I ain't got one penny, just got a shirt on my back
I left home in a hurry, well, I ain't never goin' back
I'm lookin' for a home in the heart of the city

[Verse 2]
Now I'm steppin' on the street and I'm steppin' off the end
Yeah, I'm lookin' for a lover, a lookin' lookin' everywhere
Maybe I'm in with a chance, I hear a clickety clack
There's a girl, my Lord, I see her stop, check, turn and double back
I'm lookin' for a lover in the heart of the city

[Bridge]
I'm lookin', I'm lookin', I'm lookin', I'm lookin'
I'm lookin' lookin' lookin' lookin' everywhere
In the heart of the city

[Verse 3]
We're in the heart of the city, we're in the heart of the stars
I hear the crash of music and a thousand guitars
Hey, the boys are on the prowl, oh, they're checkin' on me
They know a bird in the hand is worth two out on the streets
They're checkin' on neat in the heart of the city
[Outro]
Heart heart of the city
Heart heart, oh yeah
Heart heart of the city
Heart heart, yeah now
Heart heart of the city
Heart heart
