Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You were born into a cold world
With only the angels on your side
And they whispered, "You must stay gold here
Don't let nothing blind your eyes"
So you go out into those cold streets
And you get caught up in their lies
They offer you money and power
But someday they will leave you there to die
[Chorus]
Don't you know the street will never love you like I do?
Like I do
You won't find out until you're alone
Alone
The street will never love you like I do
Like I do
So leave that life behind and come home
Leave it all behind
And come home
Come home
Come home
Baby, come home
Come home
[Verse 2]
And if they loved you like I do
Whether your pocket's full or empty, they would be around
And if you lose it all, they'll watch you take a fall
Nobody loves you when you're down
And I see the way this world has tried to break you
It tried to hurt me, too, you know I understand
But I can't let you go and lose your soul because I love you
Open your eyes and take my hand
[Chorus]
Don't you know the street will never love you like I do?
Like I do
You won't find out until you're alone
Alone, alone
The street will never love you like I do
Like I do
So leave that life behind and come home
Leave it all behind and come home
And come home
Come home
Come home
Baby, come home
Baby, come home
[Bridge]
Come home
No one said it would be easy
Come home
We've had pain since we began
Come home
I see how the world deceived you
I understand
[Outro]
Don't you know, don't you know
Don't you know the street will never love you like I do?
Like I do
You won't find out until you're alone
All alone
The street will never love you like I do
Like I do
So leave that life behind and come home
Leave it all behind
Don't you know the street will never love you like I do?
Like I do
You won't find out until you're alone
You won't find out until you're all alone
The street will never love you like I do
Not the way, the way I do
So leave that life behind and come home
Oh, leave it all behind and come home
Don't you know the street will never love you like I do?
You won't find out until you're alone
Won't find out until you're alone
The street will never love you like I do
So leave that life behind and come home
