Streetwalker Songtext
von Prince & The New Power Generation

Work it, baby
Work it
Work it, baby
Work it

Silk stockings, lipstick red
Bolt of fire burning in her head
Her arms are open, but her heart is cold
If you got the money, sold

To the streetwalker
It′s just a nine-to-five
Streetwalker
Trying to stay alive
Streetwalker
Used to be my friend
Streetwalker
Are you gonna do time again?

Let's talk about it
Work it, baby
Work it


You were my best friend
In Sunday school
How could I know
Just what you′d do

We tried to save her
But she break the rules
And then she stop them dead
Nothing left of her to use

Oh, streetwalker
It's just a nine-to-five
Streetwalker
Trying to stay alive
Streetwalker
Used to be my friend
Streetwalker
Are you gonna do time again?

What you doing?
What you doing?

Work it, baby
Work it


Ooh
Work it, baby
Work it
Work it, baby
Work it

Streetwalker
Streetwalker

A man in waiting
Without a name
Lonely John or hurry up, it's all the same
No love or passion left for her to show
If you got the money (if you got the money)
Or if you got the gold (if you got the gold)
Sold

Aah, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Aah, ooh
Aah, aah, aah

Streetwalker
Let′s talk about it
Can we talk about it?
I tried to tell you
Don′t waste your time
You say you got your business
And I got mine
Look in the mirror
What do you see?
There's a single girl from Sunday school
Crying out to be free

Let′s talk about it
Can we talk about it?
Hey

Silk stockings, lipstick red
Bolt of fire burning in her head
Her arms are open, but her heart is cold
If you got the money, sold

To the street walker
It's just a nine-to-five
Streetwalker
Trying to stay alive
Streetwalker
Used to be my friend
Streetwalker
Are you gonna do time again? Ah, no

Streetwalker
Streetwalker
