No love on the street

Baby woke up nervous

She was sweating from the steam

Kicked off the covers

Fever burning bright

Paranoia night

Five alarm alert repeats

This city never beats you

But it buries you so deep

'Cause there ain't no love on the the street

Baby's breathing deeply

She's listening to her heart beat

Walks to the kitchen

Dishes in the sink

Baby doen't think it matters

Maybe read a magazine

And the colored girls go

Whoop-de-doop-de-doop-de-doop-

Doop-de-doop-de-doop

'Cause there ain't no love

Ain't no love in the street

'Cause there ain't no love on the street

Baby needs a frame of reference

Some other place to go to

All night launderettes

Light a cigarette

Jump an usherette

Babe's an all night diner

And she's got a trucker's appetite

And ther ain't no love

Ain't no love on the street
