Ow, ow, ow, ow

I know you, you know me
I'm the black sheep of the family
I'm in and out of trouble
I'm the talk of the town
I get wild in the street when the sun goes down

I steal around like a thief in the night
Dancing till the break of day

Bad boys
Running under cover of moonlight
Bad, bad boys
Getting wild in the street, wild in the city

I see you, you see me
Just a black street boy in society
With high-heeled women full of champagne and lies
Getting wild in the street till the hot sunrise

Stealing 'round like a thief in the night
Dancing till the break of day

Bad boys
Running under cover of moonlight
Bad, bad boys
Getting wild in the street, wild in the city
Wild in the city
Wild in the city

Bad, bad boys
Running under cover of moonlight
Bad, bad boys
Getting wild in the street, wild in the city

I know you, you know me
I'm the black sheep of the family
I'm in and out of trouble
I'm the talk of the town
I get wild in the street when the sun goes down

I don't care what the people think
I can't hear what the people say
I steal around like a thief in the night
Dancin' till the break of day

Bad, bad boys
Running under cover of moonlight
Bad, bad boys
Getting wild in the street
Bad, bad, bad boys
Running under cover of moonlight
Bad, bad boys
Getting wild in the street, wild in the city

Under cover of moonlight
Under cover of moonlight
Under cover of moonlight

Whitesnake

Whitesnake are a rock band formed in England in 1978 by David Coverdale, after his departure from his previous band Deep Purple. Their early material has been compared by critics to the blues rock of Deep Purple, but they slowly began moving toward a more commercially accessible rock style. By the turn of the decade, the band’s commercial fortunes changed and they released a string of UK top 10 albums, Ready an' Willing (1980), Come an' Get It (1981), Saints & Sinners (1982) and Slide It In (1984), the last of which was their first to chart in the US and is certified 2x platinum.
