Some time ago, Joe Sample came in contact with Will Jennings
And for some reason their minds seemed to click
And the reason I'm saying all of this is because
The next song that we're about to do
Is a combination of Joe Sample and Will Jennings
And perhaps you will recognize this particular song
ย
I play the street life, there's no place I can go
Street life, it's the only life I know
Street life, there's a thousand cards to play
Street life, 'til you play your life away
You let the people see just who you wanna be
And every night you shine just like a superstar
That's how the life is played, a dancin' masquerade
You dress, you walk, you talk, you're who you think you are
Street life, you can run away from time
Street life, for a nickel or a dime
Street life, but you never, never get old
Street life, are you gonna feel the cold
There's always love for sale, a grown-up fairy tale
Prince Charming always smiles behind a silver spoon
And if you keep it young, your song is always sung
Your love will pave your way beneath a silver spoon
Street life
Street life
Street life
Street life
ย
I play the street life because there's no place I can go
Street life, it's the only life I know
Street life, and there's a thousand cards to play
Street life, until you play your life away
ย
Street life, you can run away from time
Street life, for a nickel or a dime
Street life, but you better not get old
Street life, are you gonna feel the cold
There's always love for sale, a grown-up fairy tale
Prince Charming always smiles behind a silver spoon
But if you keep it young, your song is always sung
Your love will pave your way beneath a silver spoon
