Philadelphia - Lyrics by Vaya Con Dios


Lyrics
MUSIC: A. Letecheur/D. Schoufs LYRICS: D. Schoovaerts Raindrops falling softly As I walk on down the road Neon lights flicker Reflecting on my leather coat A black guy passes me by He's looking kind'a high When I'm reaching for a smile I see that strange look in his eye Here I am in Philadelphia And I'm walking in the rain. You're out there in Compton, baby Do you still remember my name? I couldn't hear what he said But I suddenly realised Thousands thoughts go through my head While his steps they follow mine A woman must be crazy To be out this time at night Unless she's looking for some business Unless she's feeling real uptight Here I am in Philadelphia And I'm walking in the rain. (x 2) You're out there in Compton, baby Do you still remember my name? Here I'm standing at the station Waiting for my train to come When that dude gave me a look Made me wonder what I'd done A woman must be crazy To be out this time at night Unless she's looking for some trouble Unless she's out of her mind Here I am in Philadelphia And I'm walking in the rain. (x 2) You're out there in Compton, baby Do you still remember my name? Do you baby? Do you remember? Do you baby? Do you remember? Remember my name?
