You just arrived in the city, Charlene

Now you're working the underground scene

You've been getting bolder

Now you're leaning on my shoulder

I can guess how you want things to be

Climbing up this old money tree

Well, that won't do it for you or me

No, no

I don't want no left or right

I want up-n-down

And a little bit o' lovin' on the side

Well, it's none of my business, Charlene

Though I couldn't help but notice, my darlin'

The make-up don't quite cover up the early evening shadow

On your enigmatic jawline, Charlene

I have to say it's all right by me

I don't care which way you lean

But I don't want no left or right

I want front-n-back

And a little bit o' lovin' on the side

It made me pause to consider, Charlene

You may not be much different to me

You got to earn a living

With the tools that you were given

Don't we all?

If you see what I mean

Everybody follows a dream

But to beat the street, huh... we've got to eat, or so it seems

I don't want no left or right

I want in-n-out

And a little bit o' lovin' on the side

I have to say it's all right by me

I don't care which way you lean

To beat the street, huh... we've got to eat, or so it seems

I don't want no left or right

I want in-n-out

Back-n-front

Up-n-down

Oh, oh

And a little bit o' lovin' on the side
