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
