You with your black leather jacket
Cruisin' through the south side of town
I wonder what you hung up
I wonder what you done up
You with that "white boy" walk
You're dancin' in Italian shoes
You used to be the number one main man
You used to be the ace beaucoup
He's a sidewalk Romeo
That's got no place to go
Sidewalk Romeo
And you're left out in the cold
You, goin' through your little black book
Rehearsin' all your exit lines
Well, which one will you burn up?
Which one will you turn up?
You, you been runnin' out of fools
Always makin' love a game
You used to be the number one main man
You turned into an old cliché
Another sidewalk Romeo
Has got no place to go
A sidewalk Romeo
You're left out in the cold
But angel of mercy
Is makin' love like breathin' air
A sad, sad story
A cold, lonely, dark affair
Well, angel of mercy
Your healer, your lover, your friend
Don't need to hear the story
'Cause she already knows the end, yeah
