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…
