Street Girl

Just say and do things to mess up your head

You'll have sleepless nights in the best of beds

You'll moan and groan, you'll toss and turn

You gotta go through this in order to learn

About the girl, not until she's full grown

While she's home with mama until she's on her own

The only way to find out what she's about

So you can sit down and try to figure it all out

What makes her go? What makes her stop?

Ooh, what makes her wanna rock? Oh, yeah

Street girl

Street girl, ooh

Now, she's the kind who likes bright lights, that's right

She might be on the street tonight

Cruising around in some big car

Besides some rich man who she met in the bar

Who she's only with 'cause her pockets are fat

Which only goes to show where the girl head is at

Now you know and I know she's full of jive

Never had what you call a nine-to-five

And if she have, this you can bet

She'll spend all yours before she cash her check

Now she's the best when it comes to love-making

But she's even better when it comes to heart-breaking

So don't be fooled by a candlelight kiss

Try to be what you call a connoisseur at this

So when the time comes, you'll know what to do

Or you'll be victim, or she'll get you, ooh

Who is she? (Street girl)

I don't mean to be nosy, but what is she? (Street girl)

I know of one, somebody's son

Who's on the run 'cause of what she done

She met this man at a birthday party

Nice, kind-hearted, never hurt nobody

They became friends and later on lovers

Met each other's mother, father, sisters, and brothers

Became very close only on his part

Not knowing that soon she would break his heart

A very nice guy, but she thought he was weak

Well, she'd play on his pockets seven days a week

Until she got it all, every dime he had

Then she got in the wind and left the man sad

It was plain to see, but hard to believe

That the woman he loved had tricks up her sleeve

He'd think to himself, "Oh, what a mistake"

What he thought was real turned out to be fake

It wasn't the way the girl had him believing

So deep down inside, he wanted to get even

He called her up, but disguising the fact

'Cause if she knew he was mad, well, she would never come back

He answered the phone, sweet words come out his mouth

Somehow he convinced her to come to his house

He hung up the phone, laid down on the bed

And crazy thoughts started running through his head

The doorbell rang and he answered the door

She said, "What did you wanna see me for?"

He said, "Come in, baby," he gave her a kiss

Then he got real close to the girl like this

But after that, you didn't hear one word

Two shots of a gun was all you heard

With a rose in my hand, I went to her grave

Hoping to God that the girl had been saved

Though my eyes was wet and my heart was lead

I fell on my knees and this is what I said

Some win at life and some get defeated

Still you gotta treat others like you wanna be treated

Short, tall, medium, fat, or skinny

She played the game on one too many

Who is she? (Street girl)

I don't mean to be nosy, but what is she? (Street girl)

Street girl

If she wanted to change, she can be a sweet girl

Street girl

I just don't know why

I mean, really

Why she wants to be like this

But it's her choice

Even though she'll lose in the end

Street girl

Street girl

Stay away from me, street girl

I just don't know

You can be a sweet girl

But instead, she wanted to be a street girl

Street girl
