why can I not find a whole 'Runaway Child runnin' wild' performance?

One of my favorite songs by the Temps is Runaway Child, Runnin' Wild. If you look it up on youtube, you can find three or four videos of them performing it live. However, they skip over the verse that starts out "Streets are dark and deserted" on all of them. Anyone know why or where to watch a video of them performing the entire song?

Because the single version of the song runs five minutes - too long to perform on a TV show back then unedited.

The album version is even longer, running over nine minutes.

Yeah. I recently bought a Temptations record. It is long. I love it though.
