I've made my rounds on the right side of town
Met my fair share of millionaires
But all those uptown boys just seem to let me down:
Diamonds and pearls don't meant they care

I swear sometimes the boys on the wrong side of town,
Know how to do it just right
They'll keep you up till Sunday mornin' on a Saturday night
They'll slow you down, to rev you up
Drive you crazy when it comes to love
Sometimes the boys on the wrong side of town,
Know how to do it just right

They can make your heart feel as wild as a rebel
Then tame you down with just one look
You'd drive all the way across town for that kind of trouble
'Cause you never had it so good

I swear sometimes the boys on the wrong side of town,
Know how to do it just right
They'll keep you up till Sunday mornin' on a Saturday night
They'll slow you down, to rev you up
Drive you crazy when it comes to love
Sometimes the boys on the wrong side of town,
Know how to do it just right

If I had to choose between rich and refined,
Or a man who could love me out of my mkind
I'll take the passionate kind, every time
Oh yeah

Instrumental break

I swear sometimes the boys on the wrong side of town,
Know how to do it just right
They'll keep you up till Sunday mornin' on a Saturday night
They'll slow you down to rev you up
Drive you crazy when it comes to love
Sometimes the boys on the wrong side of town,
Know how to do it just right

Yeah they know how to do it just right
Yeah they know how to do it just right

Yeah, yeah, just right
