Charles Bradley - I'll Slip Away 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
