[Verse 1:] The people walk fast through the city And pretend that they haven't even seen a thing Treading on your soul, like a part of the road WUse your rag to wipe the dirt out your face I tell you hey babe You're a tramp, you're a beggar And that's all you're ever gonna hear You've taken more hits than a world war bliss And no doubt you cried out all your tears [Chorus:] Robyn don't let these streets get on top of you Robyn just hold that smile You'll see this through You got a beautiful soul that I'm blessed to have known A few mistakes but a heart of gold Robyn don't let these streets get on top of you Oh no [Verse 2:] You're sitting on those cold out stairs Ain't exactly what the people call paradise But I guess it's the best that it gets I'll keep you warm through the ready night Let me see it here, have a beer with you I know a hand means the world sometimes Just sit and listen is the least I can do and Conversation means everything to you [Chorus] [Verse 3:] We're merely as good we got to fulfill But couldn't see us in all the steps I could never feel, could never worry About baby mind we're going next But did you take as you cleared your mind When I ask your face again? [Chorus]
