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. (2x)

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. (2x)

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
