She knows these streets I've walked alone
And when I call her on the telephone
Her number's still the same
She don't go in much for technology
She's got an old-school philosophy
Regarding user names
From K through 12 we shared the halls
Of every school, these same brick walls
And I was dreaming of her even 'fore I'd seen her face
We marched in all the same parades
Across the tracks and down Broadway
Her hair done up in pigtails and lace
One minute I;m on the monkey bars
Then I'm picking her up in my daddy's car
And, Lord, my life has never been the same, yeah
She's gonna treat me right
She's gonna treat me right
She's gonna treat me right
My hometown girl
She's gonna treat me right
She's gonna treat me right
She's gonna treat me right
My hometown girl
She tells me what I need to hear
And I trust her with my deepest fears
And she's never, she's nerve steered my wrong
My happiness rests in her hands
You see I only wanna be her man
And I've waited, I've waited so long, hey
She's gonna treat me right
She's gonna treat me right
She's gonna treat me right
My hometown girl
She's gonna treat me right
She's gonna treat me right
She's gonna treat me right
My hometown girl
In here eyes I see the years
All the laughter, all the tears
Mr. Parker said don't bother with 'em, no
But I'm all in
She's gonna treat me right
She's gonna treat me right
She's gonna treat me right
My hometown girl
She's gonna treat me right
She's gonna treat me right
She's gonna treat me right
My hometown girl
She's gonna treat me right
She's gonna treat me right
She's gonna treat me right
My hometown girl
She's gonna treat me right
She's gonna treat me right
She's gonna treat me right
My hometown girl
My hometown girl
My hometown girl
My hometown girl
