Lalah Hathaway - Street Life lyrics

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 people see Just do you wanna be And every night you shine Just like a superstar The type of life that's played A temptin' 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 There's a thousand cards to play Street life Until you play your life away Oh ! Street life, street life, street life, oh street life...
