And my mother is standing beside me
As I'm packing my bags in the car


She says, "Please, boy, no more fighting
Oh, it's only gonna do you harm"
But I can't help it, I don't know how
I guess I'll always be hanging around
With the wrong crowd
I can't help it, I don't know how
I guess I'll always be hanging around
With the wrong crowd


And my brother is standing behind me


As I'm slowly going out my head


He says, "You know those people don't like me


Why'd you wanna be one of them?"
But I can't help it, I don't know how
I guess I'll always be hanging around
With the wrong crowd
I can't help it, I don't know how
I guess I'll always be hanging around
With the wrong crowd
Oooh, I wish I could find somebody
That my mother would like
Oooh, I wish I can find somebody
That could treat me right
But I can't help it, I don't know how
I guess I'll always be hanging around
With the wrong crowd
I can't help it, I don't know how
I guess I'll always be hanging around
With the wrong crowd
Singing, I can't help it, I don't know how
I guess I'll always be hanging around
With the wrong crowd
Thinking, I can't help it, I don't know how
I guess I'll always be hanging around
With the wrong crowd
I can't help it, I don't know how
I guess I'll always be hanging around
With the wrong crowd
Thinking, I can't help it, I don't know how
I guess I'll always be hanging around
With the wrong crowd
