With a girl like you
And a boy like me
We can sing hallelujah
And share the love
Coming through ya
With a girl like you
And a boy like me
We can dance in the moonlight
And swim the waves of midnight
A girl like you
And a boy like me

I was raised on American streets
Just to let you know
I was raised on chicken and cornbread
Just to let you know
(and I’ve got to let it show)

With a girl like you
And a boy like me
We can follow the rainbow
Then ride until it let go
With a girl like you
And a boy like me
We can swing through the jungle
Until the vines began to crumble
A girl like you
And a boy like me

I was raised on American streets
Just to let you know
I was raised on catfish and greens
Just to let you know
(and I’ve go to let it show)

With a girl like you
And a boy like me
We can sing hallelujah
And share the love coming through ya
With a girl like you
And a boy like me
We can follow the rainbow
And then ride until it let go
A girl like you (you)
And a boy like me

I was raised on American streets
Just to let you know
I was raised on chicken and cornbread
Just to let you know
(and I’ve got to let it show)
