Don't get too close to me, 
don't overreact, 
you're not the enemy as a matter of fact, 
you got your pretty face and you got any name you wore 
gonna stick by you, gonna stumble over what to do. 

I want it, good lovin' wanna be your plaything. 
I want it, good lovin' bring out the beast in me. 
I want it, good lovin' wanna make your heart sing, 
in the shadows we are free, and I walk you through it. 

It's my neighborhood, 
that's where I belong. 
You're in trouble if you 
disagree with me. 
It's my neighborhood, 
that's where I belong, 
you find out why. 

It's my neighborhood, 
that's where I belong. 
You're in trouble if you 
disagree with me. 
It's my neighborhood, 
that's where I belong, 
you find out why. 

So many tell you that you can't win 
It's a battle if you're lonely 
Or if you're starting over 
Two-fisted and fast on your feet 
And you know there's something more 
And the city kicks it out of you and... 

I want it, good lovin' wanna be your plaything. 
I want it, good lovin' bring out the worst in me. 
I want it, good lovin' wanna make your heart sing, 
in the shadows we are free, and I walk you through it. 

It's my neighborhood, 
that's where I belong. 
You're in trouble if you 
disagree with me. 
It's my neighborhood, 
that's where I belong, 
you find out why.
