On A Street Corner (Until The Break Of Day)

I saw you standing there
On a street corner
Like a piece of meat,
Offering a cigarette
I looked and caught your eyes
And to my surprise
I saw the whole sad truth.
Deep down inside I saw the innocence of youth.
Bodies close together
Softly spoken words
Making love all through the night
Until the break of day
The things that you do
Is it really you?
The love that you feel,
Is it really how you feel?
Bodies close together
Softly spoken words
Making love all through the night
Until the break of day
When I think of you,
I don't know what to do.
Is there not some other way?
Is this the only way?
Well, I often wonder
Will you be doing this much longer
And I hope you won't be found
Lying dead on the ground
On a street corner.
