East Detroit

We said Paris all spring
Made names for the offspring
Colors for the vows
Where are you right now?
We made plans for all things
But our dreams were just dreams
Dreams don't work sometimes
It stays on my mind
I had dreams of making love from scratch, uh
You had tendencies and mine could match
And I'd do anything to bring that back
But time don't go in rewind, no

Roadways stay paved with good intentions
Lead to bad days, we'll wait, get the money
We're the O'Jays, why can't
We just go back to the old days, old days?
Like we used to be

Baby, it's 4 AM in East Detroit
And I'd do anything to hear your voice, your voice
It gets so lonely when your heart is broken
I was hoping we could talk it out
Maybe we could talk it out

4 AM I'm fine but you've been on my mind
I can't lie, can't be the first to call
My pride won't let me fall, not this time
Time heals everything but this wound
Baby, I'm so tired of sleeping in the guest room
Wondering what you're doing in the next room and
Make your next move, yeah, your best move

Baby, it's 4 AM in East Detroit
And I'd to anything to hear your voice, your voice
You're so lonely when your heart is broken
I was hoping we could talk it out
Maybe we could talk it out (maybe we could talk it out)

Roadways stay paved with good intentions
Lead to bad days, we'll wait, get the money
We're the O'Jays, why can't
We just go back to the old days, old days?
Like we used to be
Roadways stay paved with good intentions
Lead to bad days, we'll wait, get the money
We're the O'Jays, why can't
We just go back to the old days, old days?
Like we used to be
