lyrics
I am just a kid,
I wanna have fun.
I wanna build a bridge,
where everyone
falls in love.
strangers in the street,
walking side by side,
could be holding hands.
making plans,
to meet up later,
cuz they like the same song on the
radio perfecto.
it's hard enough to give,
under the gun.
trying to find the one to give
to everyone.
I wanna fall in love.
I'm standing in the street,
on the corner of Houston and Attorney,
looking up at your top step.
and nobody's home.
we used to like the same song on the
radio perfecto.
I'm gonna need some time,
I'm gonna get it right.
the song for everyone.
...everybody's song.
I'm gonna need your help,
even though you don't know me well.
the song for everyone,
cmon cmon cmon cmon.
strangers in the street,
walking side by side,
could be holding hands.
making plans,
to meet up later,
cuz they like the same song on the
radio perfecto.
