The other night we went to see Sam`s play
doin` the things that we want to
It was very physical it held you to the stage
doin` the things that he wants to
Doin` the things that he wants to
The guy`s a cowboy from some rodeo
doin` the things that he wants to
The girl had once loved him, but now she want to go
doin` the things that she wants to
Doin` the things that she wants to
The man was bullish, the woman was a tease
doin` the things that they want to
They fought with their words, their bodies and their deeds
doin` the things that they want to
When they finished fighting, they exited the stage
doin` the things that they want to
I was firmly struck by the way they had behaved
doin` the things that they want to
Doin` the things that they want to
hey
It reminds me of the movies Marty made about New York
(doin` the things that he wants to)
Those frank and brutal movies that are so brilliant
(doin` the things that he wants to)
"True Love" meet "The Raging Bull"
(doin` the things that he wants to)
They`re very inspirational, I love the things they do
(doin` the things that he wants to)
Doin` the things that I want to
There`s not much you hear on the radio today
(doin` the things that we want to)
But you could still see a movie or a play
(doin` the things that we want to)
Here`s to "Travis Bickle" and here`s "Johnny Boy"
(doin` the things that we want to)
Growing up in the Mean Streets of New York
(doin` the things that we want to)
I wrote this song `cause I`d like to shake your hand
(doin` the things that we want to)
In a way you guys are the best friends I ever had
(doin` the things that we want to)
Doin` the things that we want to
That we want to
A true love
