Philadelphia
These boys are not your friends,
So I would think about coming in.
Firm hearts believing
That they almost swallowed us whole.
This time I know it's you.
They're counting everyone two by two,
And I hardly notice
That you're almost linked at the arm,
But they should warn that kid with the harm.
'Cause he don't know, but best believe it, oh 'cause,
Yeah I was born back in Philadelphia.
The boys get rough and come back for more.
It's not too late to start a war,
Never too late to start a war.
Ooh
This town's already full
Of college kids in their fathers' stores,
And I'm a firm believer
That we just don't need anymore.
This time I know it's true,
In back of everyone turning screws.
They're not hard to come by,
And they're not hard to kindly ignore,
But I don't do that stuff anymore.
'Cause they don't know, but best believe it, oh 'cause
Yeah, I was born back in Philadelphia.
The boys get rough and come back for more.
It's not too late to start a war.
Never too late to start a war.
Yeah, I was born back in Philadelphia,
The girls are tough and they ask for more.
It's not too late to start a war,
Never too late to start a war.
Yeah, I was born back in Philadelphia,
The boys get rough and come back for more.
It's not too late to start a war.
Never too late to start a war.
Yeah, I was born back in Philadelphia,
The girls are tough and they ask for more.
It's not too late to start a war,
Never too late to start a war.
Ooh
Ooh
So I would think about coming in.
Firm hearts believing
That they almost swallowed us whole.
This time I know it's you.
They're counting everyone two by two,
And I hardly notice
That you're almost linked at the arm,
But they should warn that kid with the harm.
'Cause he don't know, but best believe it, oh 'cause,
Yeah I was born back in Philadelphia.
The boys get rough and come back for more.
It's not too late to start a war,
Never too late to start a war.
Ooh

Of college kids in their fathers' stores,
And I'm a firm believer
That we just don't need anymore.
This time I know it's true,
In back of everyone turning screws.

And they're not hard to kindly ignore,
But I don't do that stuff anymore.
'Cause they don't know, but best believe it, oh 'cause
Yeah, I was born back in Philadelphia.

It's not too late to start a war.
Never too late to start a war.
Yeah, I was born back in Philadelphia,
The girls are tough and they ask for more.
It's not too late to start a war,
Never too late to start a war.
Yeah, I was born back in Philadelphia,
The boys get rough and come back for more.
It's not too late to start a war.
Never too late to start a war.
Yeah, I was born back in Philadelphia,
The girls are tough and they ask for more.
It's not too late to start a war,
Never too late to start a war.
Ooh
Ooh
