You're gonna end up alone  
                          Am

Street boy  


             Em                          Am7  
You go home but you can't stay  
              Em                                              Am7  
Because something's always pulling you away  
                    Em                          Am7  
Your fast hellos and quick goodbyes  
                     Em  
You're just a street boy  
               Am7   
With the streetlights in your eyes  
                  D  
You better get yourself together  
D  
Look for something better  


Street boy  
You've been out too long  
Street boy  
Ain't you got enough sense to go home  
Street boy  
You're gonna end up alone  
You need some love and understanding  
Not that dead-end life you're planning  
Street boy  


Your sister says that every week  
You just come home to eat and go to sleep  
And you make plans you never keep  
Because your mind is always in the streets  
You better get yourself together  
Look for something better  

Street boy  
You've been out too long  
Street boy  
Ain't you got enough sense to go home  
Street boy  
You're gonna end up alone  
You need some love and understanding  
Not that dead-end life you're planning  
Street boy  

There's one last word then I'll conclude  
Before you pick up and put on your attitude  
Bet you'll never find or ever meet  
Any street boy who's ever beat the streets  
Street boy  
Street boy  
Street boy  
Street boy  
Street boy  
Street boy  
Sweet boy
