[Verse 1:]
The people walk fast through the city
And pretend that they haven't even seen a thing
Treading on your soul, like a part of the road
WUse your rag to wipe the dirt out your face
I tell you hey babe
You're a tramp, you're a beggar
And that's all you're ever gonna hear
You've taken more hits than a world war bliss
And no doubt you cried out all your tears

[Chorus:]
Robyn don't let these streets get on top of you
Robyn just hold that smile
You'll see this through
You got a beautiful soul that I'm blessed to have known
A few mistakes but a heart of gold
Robyn don't let these streets get on top of you
Oh no

[Verse 2:]
You're sitting on those cold out stairs
Ain't exactly what the people call paradise
But I guess it's the best that it gets
I'll keep you warm through the ready night
Let me see it here, have a beer with you
I know a hand means the world sometimes
Just sit and listen is the least I can do and
Conversation means everything to you

[Chorus]

[Verse 3:]
We're merely as good we got to fulfill
But couldn't see us in all the steps
I could never feel, could never worry
About baby mind we're going next
But did you take as you cleared your mind
When I ask your face again?

[Chorus]
