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
