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

cards to play

Street life

Until you play your life away

You never people see

Just do you wanna be

And every night you shine

Just like a superstar

The type of life that's played

A temptin' masquerade

You dress you walk you talk

You're who you

think you are

Street life

You can run away from time

Street life

For a nickel, for a dime

Street life

But you better not get old

Street life

Or you're gonna

feel the cold

There's always love for sale

A grown up fairy tale

Prince charming

always smiles

Behind a silver spoon

And if you keep it young

Your song is always sung

Your love will pay your way

beneath the silver moon

Street life, street life

street life, oh street life

Hmm hum

I play the street life

Because there's no place

I can go

Street life

It's the only life I know

Street life

There's a thousand

cards to play

Street life

Until you play your life away

Oh

Street life, street life

street life, oh street life

Hum
