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
