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
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
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
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?
