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 who 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, Yeah, oh


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...
