Every night she closes her eyes.
Tries to drown out the looks from those predator guys.
She walks down the streets of L. A.
Looking for a warm place To stay tonight
Only sixteen when she packed everything she owned….
In search for a new life.
When she left home she never knew what these streets were gonna be like tonight.
Cocaine working on her head again
It looks like this little girl is close to dead again.
Selling her body in the city of sin
[chorus]
You’re a street girl
Trying to get back on your feet girl,
You’re a street girl
why’d you leave home girl
You used to be such a sweet girl
You’re a street girl
Why don’t you call back home and let your folks know you’re alright girl
Don’t get caught up in the middle of the night girl
[verse]
She never called home to see if momma was alright
She left a hidden storm
When daddy’s liquor started the fight
[bridge]
She finally gets to sleep at the crack of dawn.
And when the night falls she’ll wake up alone.
And stare at the mirror at a face so cold
[chorus]
You’re a street girl
Trying to get back on your feet girl,
You’re a street girl
why’d you leave home girl
You used to be such a sweet girl
You’re a street girl
Why don’t you call back home and let your folks know you’re alright girl
Don’t get caught up in the middle of the night girl
[outro]
She finally gets to sleep at the crack of dawn
And when the night falls she’ll wake up alone
