My baby live the street life
And I wanna be his wife
So bad I don't tell a soul
My baby live the street life
And every night I cry
Praying God "don't take him home"
My baby stay on the block
Till the block ain't hot
But it's burning like the depths of hell
My baby's a sweetheart and he don't mean no harm
To somebody who wish him well
You come at him hard
He'll come back harder
Till you ain't breathing on this earth no more
He don't really know this, 
but every other night he got me 
pacing up and down this floor 
Cause I know you live the street life
But I wanna be your wife
So bad I don't know what to do 
My baby live the street life and I can't cry
Cause it's the only life he ever knew
And only God knows how much I love that man
I know I should walk away but by his side I choose to stand
Cause there ain't nobody who can look at me that way
But I'm stressin cause I don't know if he comin home today 
And yes I worry about his soul
Oh but I'm so in love, ain't no letting go
It's aight he lives the street life
And I'm his wife
So I ain't gonna tell a soul
My baby live the street life
And every night I cry
Asking God not to take him home.
