"Street Side" lyrics
"Street Side"
You been from bed to bed
You still at the post, you been from man to man
Lover to lover, in and out of doors
Your friends in the underworld
May put a contract out on me
But this tragic, magic love we got
Just won't let me be
You always crave the sleazy side of life
Your yesterdays, todays and tomorrows
Is aimed at life and livin' on the street side
Your main squeeze got a tough reputation
But my love for you my darlin' my dear
My only one in my life, overcome my intimidation
I don't know, I don't even know
If there's hope anymore
To try to change your charts around
Maybe the very worst thing for all I know
You always crave the sleazy side of life
Your yesterdays, todays and tomorrows
Is aimed at life and livin' on the street side
I know you ain't got eyes
To get yourself married
No, not even to settle down
How can I snuff this ole torch
That I been carryin'
I been carryin' it all around this town
Runnin' me dead in the ground
But if you have a change of mind
And you got no mo' mind to ramble
I swear I'd welcome you home
I know life can be a losin' game
Now I know you ain't out lookin'
For no serious romance
I can read in your eyes
This hunger for hard finance
You just diggin' my grave
With every move you make
Puttin' a hurtin' on me, baby I can't take it
Can't you see that I'm about ta break
But if you have a change of mind
And you tired of playin' it on the sleazy side
I'd welcome you home with open arms
Life can be sweeter on the easy side
But you always crave the sleazy side of life
Your yesterdays, todays and tomorrows
Is the game of life played on the street side
