| Baby woke up nervous
|
| She was sweating from the steam heat
|
| She kicked off the covers
|
| Fever burning bright, paranoia night
|
| Five alarm alert repeats
|
| This city never beats you
|
| But it buries you so deep
|
| 'Cause there ain’t no love
|
| Ain’t no love on the street
|
| Baby’s breathing deeply
|
| She’s listening to her heart beat
|
| She walks into the kitchen
|
| Dishes in the sink
|
| Doesn’t even matter
|
| Maybe read a magazine
|
| And the colored girls go
|
| Whoop-de-doop-de-doop-de-doop-
|
| Doop-de-doop-de-doop
|
| 'Cause there ain’t no love
|
| Ain’t no love on the street
|
| Baby needs a frame of reference
|
| Some other place to go
|
| An all night launderette
|
| Light a cigarette
|
| Jump an usherette
|
| Babe’s an all night diner
|
| She’s got a trucker’s appetite
|
| 'Cause there ain? |
| t ain’t no love
|
| Ain’t no love on the street |
