People say just you wait
He's gonna learn the hard way
All the boys all the noise
It used to be a nice neighborhood
Playin' cool cuttin' school
He's runnin' with the rough trade
My baby's so misunderstood
He's just in love with the beat
He's so young and restless
In the driver's seat
Dreaming the dreams of the desperate
Wild in the street
He's just in love with the beat
He's just in love with the beat
Hanging out with the crowd
Look around and you'll find him
Still the same takin' aim
Playin' at the quarter arcade
In his car breakin' hearts
In the dark at the drive in
He's livin' in a juke box masquerade
He's just in love with the beat
He's so young and restless
In the driver's seat
Dreaming the dreams of the desperate
Wild in the street
He's just in love with the beat
Don't let 'em take your dreams away
Every dog gotta have his day
When the summer lasts forever
The music will never fade
He's just in love with the beat
He's so young and restless
In the driver's seat
Dreaming the dreams of the desperate
Wild in the street
He's just in love with the beat
He's just in love with the beat
