Street Boy lyrics

Street boy,

you've been out too long.

Street boy,

ain't you got enough sense to go home

Street boy,

you're gonna end up alone

You need some love and understanding,

not that dead-end life you're planning,

street boy.

You go home, but you can't stay,

because something's always pulling you away.

Your fast hellos and quick goodbyes,

you're just a street boy

with the streetlights in your eyes.

You better get yourself together,

look for something better.

Street boy,

you've been out too long.

Street boy,

ain't you got enough sense to go home

Street boy,

you're gonna end up alone

You need some love and understanding,

not that dead-end life you're planning,

street boy.

Your sister says that every week,

you just come home to eat and go to sleep.

And you make plans you never keep

because your mind is always in the streets.

You better get yourself together,

look for something better.

Street boy,

you've been out too long.

Street boy,

ain't you got enough sense to go home

Street boy,

you're gonna end up alone

You need some love and understanding,

not that dead-end life you're planning,

street boy.

There's one last word, then I'll conclude,

before you pick up and put on your attitude.

Bet you'll never find or ever meet

any street boy who's ever beat the streets

Street boy.

Street boy.

Street boy.

Street boy.

Street boy.

Street boy.

Sweet boy.
