Baby woke up nervous
She was sweatin' 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
There ain't no love on the street
Baby's breathing deeply
She's listenin' 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
Doop-de-doop-de-doop-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 no love
There ain't no love on the street
