Street Symphony

(アルバム： The Boy Is Mine - 1998)

There's something that I wanna say
I feel a little out of place
But I need you to make that change
You promised, to keep me out of the rain
I loved the cars and everything
The diamond rings
But I loved you much more, baby

You said that you were gonna stop when you had enough
Do what you had to do
Now you like the profession, you made it for yourself
You said, forget about me and you
Now all you wanna do is hustle
You gotta choose, what you gonna do
When am I worth it to you, baby?

Never thought I'd be afraid to trust (To trust)
Somebody that I love so much
If I can get him out of the streets
Then he can come back to me
Now I see that it ain't no us
Baby, to me, that's a definite plus
If I can't get you out of the streets
Then you don't need to be with me

Do you love me like you say?
Then maybe you could get away
From the life of doing the wrong things
You promised, don't make me read about it, babe
Think of me before I'm gone
'Cause when I'm gone, it will be too late
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

You said that you were gonna stop when you had enough
Do what you had to do
Now you like the profession, you made it for yourself
You said, forget about me and you
Now all you wanna do is hustle
You gotta choose, what you gonna do
When am I worth it to you, baby?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Never thought I'd be afraid to trust (Never thought)
Somebody that I love so much (Somebody that I love so much)
If I can get him out of the streets (Out)
Then he can come back to me (The streets, baby)
Now I see that it ain't no us (It ain't no us)
Baby, to me, that's a definite plus (Oh no)
If I can't get you out of the streets (Baby, baby, baby)
Then you don't need to be with me
Never thought I'd be afraid to trust (Never, never)
Somebody that I love so much (I never)
If I can get him out of the streets (Baby)
Then he can come back to me
Now I see that it ain't no us (It ain't no us, baby, baby)
Baby, to me, that's a definite plus
If I can't get you out of the streets
Then you don't need to be with me

Never thought I'd be afraid to trust (Never thought I'd)
Somebody that I love so much (Somebody I love)
If I can get him out of the streets (Somebody I love)
Then he can come back to me (Baby, baby)
Now I see that it ain't no us (Baby)
Baby, to me, that's a definite plus (Oh)
If I can't get you out of the streets (Charge it to the game, baby)
Then you don't need to be with me

Is it the streets or me? (Is it the streets?)
The job's taking over me (The job's taking over)
I know I've got to leave (I know, I know)
'Cause you weren't there for me (You weren't there for me)
Is it the streets or me? (Baby, baby)
The job's taking over me (Baby)
I know I've got to leave (The job's taking over)
'Cause you weren't there for me
