Street life and there's a thousand cards to play
And if you keep it young
Street life, until you play your life away
Oh, street life
Street life, but you better not get old
There's always love for sale
Street life, until you play your life away
Street life, it's the only life I know
You dress and walk and talk
A temptin' masquerade
A grown up fairy tale
A grown up fairy tale
Street life
Just like a superstar
Beneath the silver moon
Prince charming always smiles
You're who you think you are
You're who you think you are
The type of life that's played
Your song is always sung
You dress and walk and talk
Street life
Just who you wanna be
You let the people see
Street life, you can run away from time
Your love will pay your way
There's always love for sale
Just like a superstar
Yeah, street life
Street life
Street life, you can run away from time
Street life
Street life, it's the only life I know
Behind a silver spoon
Street life, or you're gonna feel the cold
Your love will pay your way
Street life
Prince charming always smiles
Street life, but you better not get old

Oh, street life
Street life, or you're gonna feel the cold
And every night you sang
Hear the lonely sound
And every night you sang
And if you keep it young
Neither lost nor found
Street life, for a nickel, for a dime
Street life
I play the street life because there's no place I can go
Just who you wanna be
Beneath the silver moon
I play the street life because there's no place I can go
A temptin' masquerade
That's all that's left for me, yeah
Oh, street life
Street life
Songwriters: Will Jennings, Joe Sample
The type of life that's played
Nights are always bright
You let the people see
Street life, for a nickel, for a dime
Behind a silver spoon
Oh, street life
Of music in the night
Street life and there's a thousand cards to play
I still hang around
Your song is always sung
