You live on the south side, babe
And I'm stuck here across town , maybe
I'll find a way
Drop by and stay
What would ya say

Your old man don't think it's right
For me to stay with you all night
But for now that's where I'll be
And Southie sure looks good to me, she knows
I'm on my way
Drop by and stay
I'll leave today

No more flashin' subway sparks
No more hitchhike through the dark
No more bus rides though the square
No more fuss 'cause I'll be there

No more phone calls late at night
Find out if your boy's all right
No more wonderin' what to wear
No more fuss 'cause I'll be there

Come today I realize
We don't need no alibis
Guess my feet can find my way
Cause every night I hear her say, she goes

Drop by and stay
Drop by and stay
Drop by and stay, baby
Drop by and stay

Say you live on the south side, babe
And I'm stuck here, come on baby
Drop by and stay (What would you say)
Drop by and stay (I'll find a way)
Drop by and stay (I'll leave today)
Drop by and stay (I'm on my way)
Drop by and stay (I'm on my way)
Drop by and stay (I'm on my way)

Drop by and stay
