Lyrics

Streetwise Lady

Verse 1
She stands on the corner waiting all alone.
She never stops, never hesitates.
She doesn't want to be second-rate.

Chorus
She's a streetwise lady she knows all the moves.
She's a streetwise lady jamming to the city groove.
She has grown far apart before a love could start.
She's a streetwise lady jamming to the city groove.

Streetwise Lady.

Verse 2
She doesn't think, doesn't really care
Each new day is another dare.
She wears leather gloves and high-heeled shoes.
She's riding high, she knows she can't lose.

Chorus
She's a streetwise lady she knows all the moves.
She's a streetwise lady jamming to the city groove.
She has grown far apart before a love could start.
She's a streetwise lady jamming to the city groove.

Bridge
She's got style.
She's got class.
She enjoys life. . .
That moves real fast.

Chorus
She's a streetwise lady she knows all the moves.
She's a streetwise lady jamming to the city groove.
She has grown far apart before a love could start.
She's a streetwise lady jamming to the city groove.

Streetwise lady.
Streetwise lady.
Streetwise lady.
Streetwise lady.

Verse 3
She stands on the corner waiting by the phone.
Streetwise Lady (Background singers)
She never stops never hesitates.
She doesn't want to be second-rate.

Tag
Streetwise lady.
Streetwise lady.
Streetwise lady
Streetwise lady
Repeat and fade.
