Darling, my neighborhood boy
You don’t know that i watch over you
You don’t know that i feel it when everything’s bad and you don’t know what you’re gonna do

Darling, my neighborhood boy
You think that you’re being discreet
But i feel your eyes burn in the back of my head as i walk up and down this small street

Come sit in my living room
And listen to me
And i’ll tell you the truth, boy

I promise you things will get better soon
Just wait and see, things will be better soon
I know the ways of this world
Because i was a neighborhood girl

I hear them screaming your name
Your dad fights with you out in the street
And he doesn’t fight fair
And your ears turn bright red and you stare at the tops of your feet

You wear baggy pants and hooded black sweatshirts
You smoke my brand of cigarettes
You’re always around
Are you lost, are you found
Which it is is anybody’s guess

Come sit in my living room
And listen to me
And i’ll tell you the truth, boy

I promise you things will get better soon
Just wait and see, things will be better soon
I know the ways of this world
Because i was a neighborhood girl

You want me to be Mrs. Robinson
But i know something that you need more
I’ll be your guardian angel
I’ll be your avenging angel
I’ll be your guardian angel

Darling, my neighborhood boy
If you look closely you’ll see my scars
But i’ve turned out OK and you’ll turn out the same
And these things, they make us who we are

Darling, my neighborhood boy
When you’re tired and you need to cry
Just come under my wing
Don’t worry ‘bout a thing
And we’ll just watch the world pass us by

Come sit in my living room
And listen to me
And i’ll tell you the truth, boy

I promise you things will get better soon
Just wait and see, things will be better soon
I know the ways of this world
Because i was a neighborhood girl
