Stepping on the cracks in the sidewalk Ain't worried 'bout no bad things happening to me Ain't looking back at where I been, Just where I want to be I was just a kid. I didn't know what I wanted He was just a kid. I left him brokenhearted Would he wait, would he wait, would he wait for me? Yeah. Would he wait for me? Everything I'll ever need I found on the streets of Brooklyn I'm coming back around This place is home and it's got him It took some time to find my way Go tell him that I'm here to stay On the streets of Brooklyn. The scenery has changed This place has gotten more run down Pa**ed the places we used to hang I'd smile when he'd come around We'd walk the avenue, holding hands and laughing Somehow I always knew I'd come on back to where it all began Did he wait for me? Yeah. Did he wait for me? Everything 'll ever need I found on the streets of Brooklyn Hell I'm not backing down I'm gonna keep on looking for him. Ain't nothing getting in my way I'm gonna get him back someday... Everything I need to know I learned on the streets of Brooklyn I left a long long time ago But my heart stayed here with him Everything I'll ever need I found on the streets of Brooklyn I'm coming back around This place is home and it's got him I hope it's not too late for me I wonder did he wait for me? He's leaning on my old front gate Turns to me, says "you're pretty late". "Whouda thought you'd take this long to get ready for our date"? "Of course I'd wait, on the streets of Brooklyn". So glad he stayed on the streets of Brooklyn.
