Love Out In The Street
Lyrics & Music by: Carly Simon

I've seen the sidewalks
And I've been aware
Of all the lamps and tables and the paperback books
That you've thrown out there
All your artifacts
In disrepair
Make up a pile so high
Could tie up the traffic in the thoroughfare

Put your love out in the street
Put your love out in the street
Put your love out in the street
Put your love out in the street tonight

I don't mind your sinning
I'm no saint myself
And if the neighbors call you a hellcat
Then let them call me Jezebel
Cause I've come to know you
I've come to know you so well
From spying on you from my bathroom window
In this cheap hotel

Put your love out in the street
Put your love out in the street
Put your love out in the street
Put your love out in the street tonight

So let flow the hydrants
And we'll dance in the spray
And we'll wash out our dirty laundry
In the alleyway

Put your love out in the street
Put your love out in the street
Put your love out in the street
Put your love out in the street tonight
