I play the street life
Because there's no place I can go
Street life
It's the only life I know
Street life
And there's a thousand parts to play
Street life
Until you play your life away
You let the people see
Just who you wanna be
And every night you sang
Just like a superstar
The type of life that's played
A temptin? masquerade
You're dressed, you're geared out
You're who you think you are
Street life
You can run away from time
Street life
For a nickel or a dime
Street life
But you better not get old
Street life
Or you're gonna fell the cold
There's always love for sale
Upon a fairy tale
Prince Charming always smiles
Behind a silver spoon
And if you keep it young
The song is always sung
You're love'll pay your way
Beneath the silver moon
Street life
Street life
Street life
Oh, street life
Uh, huh
Yeah?yeah?
I play the street life
Because there's no place I can go
Street life
It's the only life I know
Street life
And there's a thousand parts to play
Street life
Until you play your life away, oh
Street life
Street life
Street life
Oh, street life
Mmm?mmm?
