Street Life Songtext
von Randy Crawford featuring The Crusaders

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 let people see
Just who you wanna be
And every night you shine
Just like a superstar
The type of life that's played
Attempts at 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
And, there's a thousand cards to play
Street life
Until you play your life away


You never let people see
Just who you wanna be
And every night you shine
Just like a superstar
The type of life that′s played
Attempts at 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

oh, street life, yeah, street life, street life, oh, street life
yeah
oh
oh
oh
uh
ah
ah
ah-ah
