NO-ONE ON YOUR SIDE
AND IT FEELS ALRIGHT
AINT NOBODY GONNA CHANGE YOUR MIND TONIGHT

GOT NO PLACE TO HIDE
TRYING TO SURVIVE
AINT NOBODY GONNA HELP YOU GET IT RIGHT

IT’S GOTTA BE BABY
COS’ THAT’S THE WAY IT GOES
CAN’T YOU SEE BABY
AND EVERYBODY KNOWS
IT’S GOTTA BE BABY
YOU GOTTA TAKE THE BLOWS
LIFE CAN BE SO UNKIND, OH

COS’ IT’S ONLY STREET LIFE
GOTTA LEARN TO BREAK IT
GOTTA LEARN TO MAKE IT THRU THE NIGHT

ONLY STREET LIFE
AINT NO TIME FOR GIVIN’
CONCENTRATE ON LIVIN’ WRONG OR RIGHT

NOW YOU’RE FEELIN’ STRONG
AND IT’S ALL OK
AIN’T NOBODY GONNA TAKE IT ALL AWAY

AS THE DAYS ARE LONG
SO LIFE CAN BE SHORT
AINT NOBODY GONNA SAY YOU NEVER FOUGHT

IT’S GOTTA BE BABY
COS’ THAT’S THE WAY IT GOES
CAN’T YOU SEE BABY
AND EVERYBODY KNOWS

IT’S GOTTA BE BABY
YOU GOTTA TAKE THE BLOWS
LIFE CAN BE SO UNKIND, OH

COS’ IT’S ONLY STREET LIFE
GOTTA LEARN TO BREAK IT
GOTTA LEARN TO MAKE IT THRU THE NIGHT

ONLY STREET LIFE
AINT NO TIME FOR GIVIN’
CONCENTRATE ON LIVIN’ WRONG OR RIGHT
