Lyrics
We would like to welcome to the bandstand
A very lovely lady to help us with this next song
Would you please welcome, Miss Reichii Guillory
I still hang around, neither lost nor found
Hear the lonely sound of music in the night
Nights are always bright
All that's left for me, yeah
I play the street life because there's no place I can go
Street life, that'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 let the people see just who you want to be
And every night you shine just like a superstar
That's how the life is 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 or 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, yeah-yeah
Street life, yeah-yeah
Street life, yeah-yeah
Street life
Street life, that's the only life I know
Street life, because there's no place I can go
Street life and there's a thousand roles to play
Street life, until you play your life away
Street life, yeah-yeah
Street life, yeah-yeah
Street life, yeah-yeah
Street life
Street life, 'cause there's no place I can go
Street life, it's the only life I know
Street life and there's a thousand roles to play
Street life, until you play your life away
You let the people see just who you want to be
And every night you shine just like a superstar
That's how the life is 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 or a dime
Street life, but you better not get old
Street life, or you're gonna soon 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, yeah-yeah
Street life, yeah-yeah
Street life, yeah-yeah
Street life, yeah
Street life, yeah, I talk about, talk about
Street life, yeah-yeah-yeah
Street life, yeah-yeah-yeah
Street life
Alright
Sure feels good, yeah
