Lyrics:

Living on the street tonight
A lonely place to be all right, oh lord
The rhythm of the city, I don't find it pretty anymore
Like I did before you walked out my door

Give me back the beat, give me back the beat
Give me back the only thing that makes my life complete
If you come back to me, I'll be dancing in the street
I miss the tune we had before that made me tap my feet
That used to rock this boy asleep now that you're gone
Give me back the beat and let's rock on

I feel the pounding of your heart
But I'm alone here in the dark, it's true
Alleys filled with misery
Shadows of your memories break through
I never knew how much i needed you

Give me back the beat, give me back the beat
Give me back the only thing that makes my life complete
If you come back to me, I'll be dancing in the street
I miss the tune we had before that made me tap my feet
That used to rock this boy asleep now that you're gone
Give me back the beat and let's rock on

I won't sleep, baby, I can't eat, I'm in too deep
It's a high fall running into a brick wall
All by yourself, but I know what will help


That used to rock this boy asleep now that you're gone
So give me back the beat, you got to
Give me back the beat, give me back the beat
Give me back the only thing that makes my life complete
If you come back to me, I'll be dancing in the street
I miss the tune we had before that made me tap my feet
That used to rock this boy asleep now that you're gone
So give me back the beat and let's rock on
So give me back the beat and let's rock on
Give me back the beat
And let's rock on
Let's rock on, baby
