Trouble In The Streets

[Verse 1]
I don't wanna get no trouble when I go down
I wanna get in trouble on your street
Got a real feeling like it's gonna be a showdown
I don't wanna quit no show for free

[Pre-Chorus]
And everybody warned me
Everybody warned me about you

[Chorus]
But I'm tempted by just make-believing
That I can make you come around, my friend, and start again
I like the way you got me scheming for you, dreaming of you
Won't change your ways, no, can't change your ways

[Verse 2]
I don't wanna hurt nobody, even me
But I want a little loving with some danger on the side
Weight is gonna kill me, there's no better way to go
Yeah, you're never gonna live if you're never gonna try

[Pre-Chorus]
And everybody warned me
Everybody warned me about you

[Chorus x2]
But I'm tempted by just make-believing
That I can make you come around, my friend, and start again
I like the way you got me scheming for you, dreaming of you
Won't change your ways, no, can't change your ways

But I'm tempted by just make-believing
That I can make you come around different start again
I like the way you got me scheming for you, dreaming of you
Won't change your ways, no, can't change your ways

[Outro]
When this thing is over, then it's time to say goodbye
Say it's really nice to know you and to love you in my way
If it was that easy for a poet and a clown
We can have a conversation and believe it for the day
