I'm losing sleep So I walk these dirty streets I hear bad blood Run through this neighborhood I don't get it This bed ain't filled with romance This life ain't living It's screaming in my face All right [Chorus] I'm on my knees, yeah Much too late I don't believe that Man needs God, thank God And all night long, yeah The city's dreaming I can't forget you You're all I got, my love Oh in the side street shadows I gotta hold my head up There's a stale street stench Got a stranglehold Oh milk and honey Won't heal my heartache Gotta take that chance, yeah And dance through life All right [Chorus: x2]
