Baby woke up nervous

She was sweating from the steam heat

She 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,

Ain't no love on the street



Baby's breathing deeply

She's listening to her heart beat

She walks into the kitchen

Dishes in the sink

Doesn't even matter

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 on the street



Baby needs a frame of reference

Some other place to go

An all night launderette

Light a cigarette

Jump an usherette

Babe's an all night diner

She's got a trucker's appetite

'Cause there ain't ain't no love,

Ain't no love on the street
