I Wanna Be Where the Boys Are (Live in Tokyo, Japan, 1977) Lyrics by The Runaways

Live in Japan

1977

[Verse 1]
Wild in the streets, barely alive
Mama's always telling me, "Stay inside
Don't you hang around with those young boys
Soon, you'll be lovin' them, they're all night toys"
[Chorus]
I wanna be where the boys are
I wanna fight how the boys fight
I wanna love how the boys love
I wanna be where the boys are
[Verse 2]
Hot love hear, I got the drive
Neighbors been buggin' me, I gotta hide
I am the bitch with the hot guitar
I am the air, the sun and stars
[Chorus]
I wanna be where the boys are
I wanna fight how the boys fight
I wanna love how the boys love
I wanna be where the boys are
[Verse 3]
Wild in the streets, barely alive
Mama's always telling me, "Stay inside
Don't you hang around with those young boys
Soon, they'll be lovin' you with all their joy"
[Chorus]
I wanna be where the boys are
I wanna fight how the boys fight
I wanna love how the boys love
I wanna be where the boys are
