[Verse 1]
Don't get too close to me, don't overreact
You're not the enemy as a matter of fact
You got your pretty face and you got any name you wore
Gonna stick by you, gonna stumble over what to do

[Hook]
I want it, good loving, wanna be your plaything
I want it, good loving, bring out the beast in me
I want it, good loving, wanna make your heart sing
In the shadows we are free and I walk you through it

[Chorus]
It's my neighborhood, that's where I belong
You're in trouble if you disagree with me
It's my neighborhood, that's where I belong
You find out why

It's my neighborhood, that's where I belong
You're in trouble if you disagree with me
It's my neighborhood, that's where I belong
You find out why

[Verse 2]
So many tell you that you can't win
It's a battle if you're lonely or if you're starting over
Two-fisted and fast on your feet
And you know there's something more
And the city kicks it out of you and

[Hook]
I want it, good loving, wanna be your plaything
I want it, good loving, bring out the worst in me
I want it, good loving, wanna make your heart sing
In the shadows we are free and I walk you through it

[Chorus] (x2)
It's my neighborhood, that's where I belong
You're in trouble if you disagree with me
It's my neighborhood, that's where I belong
You find out why

[Post-Chorus]
It's my neighborhood, that's where I belong
You're in trouble if
(Trouble)
You disagree with me
It's my neighborhood, that's where I belong
You find out why

[Instrumental]

[Chorus - Var. 1]
It's my neighborhood, that's where I belong
You're in trouble if you disagree with me
It's my neighborhood, that's where I belong
You find out why

Bee Gees

The three Gibb brothers were very close as children and spent most of their time together. Barry was born in 1946, and his twin brothers Maurice and Robin were born in 1949. Together, they went on to become one of the most popular bands of the 1970s.

The Bee Gees have sold more than 220 million records worldwide, and functioned as a group almost continuously from 1958 to 2003, when Maurice Gibb suddenly died during a coma.
