"Streets Of Love" lyrics

Streets Of Love

You're awful bright
You're awful smart
I must admit
You broke my heart

The awful truth
Is really sad
I must admit
I was awful bad

While lovers laugh
And music plays
I stumble by
And I hide my pain

The lamps are lit
The moon is gone
I think I've crossed
The Rubicon

And I, I
Walk the streets of love
And they're full of tears
And I, I
Walked the streets of love
And they're full of fears

While music pumps
From passing cars
A couple watch
Me from a bar

A band just played
The wedding march
And the corner store
Mends broken hearts

And a woman asks
Me for a dance
Oh, it's free of charge
Just one more chance

Oh, but I, I
Walk the streets of love
And they're full of tears
And I, I
Walk the streets of love
For a thousand years

Oh, tell me now
I walk the streets of love
And they're drenched with tears, oh

You had the moves
You had the cards
I must admit
You were awful smart

The awful truth
Is awful sad
I must admit
I was awful bad

And I, I
Walk the streets of love
And they're drenched with tears

And I, I
Walk the streets of love
For a thousand years

And I, I
Walk the streets of love
And they're drenched with tears

Oh, I, I
Oh, every night
Oh, there's only one
And not enough for him
Oh, I, I
Yeah
And they're full of tears

Oh, everybody talk about it
Everybody be walking down it
Yeah
But I found out
Oh, yes, that I
Oh, yes, I do
Oh, the streets of love
Yeah, they're drenched
Drenched with tears
Oh, yeah
I don't want to
