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)
