You were born into a cold world
With only the angels on your side
And they whispered you must stay gold here
Don't let nothin' blind your eyesSo you go out into those cold streets
And you get caught up in their lies
They offer you money and power
But someday they will leave you there to dieDon't you know the street will never love you like I do
You won't find out until you're alone
The street will never love you like I do
So leave that life behind and come home
And come home, come home, baby come homeAnd if they loved you like I do
Whether your pocket's full or empty
They would be around
And if you lose it all they'll watch you take a fallNobody loves you when you're down
And I see the way this world has tried to break you
Tried to hurt me too you know I understand
But I can't let you go and lose your soul
Because I love you, open your eyes and take my handDon't you know the street will never love you like I do
You won't find out until your alone
The street will never love you like I do
So leave that life behind and come home
And come home, come home, baby come homeCome home, no one said it would be easy
Come home, we've had pain since we began
Come home, I see how the world deceived you, I understandDon't you know the street will never love you like I do
You won't find out until your alone
The street will never love you like I do
So leave that life behind and come home
And come home, come home, baby, come home
