People say, just you wait
He's gonna learn the hard way
All the boys, all the noise
It used to be a nice neighbourhood
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
* Repeat
Don't let 'em take your dreams away
Every dog gotta have his day
When the summer lasts forever
The music will never fade
* Repeat
