Out in the Street Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Out in the street
I'm talking about slowly
I'm not going to rest
Woman, you don't know me

[Chorus]
Yeah, you don't know me, no
Know me, no
Know me, no
Yeah, but I'm a-going to know you

[Verse 2]
Hey listen, woman
You just can't throw me
I won't stand it
If you don't know me

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Listen to me
I'm telling you
You look at me, woman
Yeah, tell the truth
I know your mind
I can see that you're in need
I'll show you woman
Yeah, that you belong to me

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
Give me no reasons
Said you'd go free
It's not going to be now
If you got to know me

[Chorus]

About

In the liner notes of the “My Generation” album reissue, Pete was quoted to have said: “This was going to be a single. I hate that ‘no, no, no’ bit. It was originally ‘show me, show me’ but Kit Lambert thought it wasn’t very good. He wrote all the new lyrics. I’m not going to take the blame for any of them. It sounds all cut about and edited.”

While the album was being recorded, the song was titled “You’re Gonna Know Me”.
