No money coming in
it's all going out
i'm standing on the corner
in the shadow of doubt
the streetlight's broken
and my heart is gone
fate is coming
with it's headlights on
Chorus:
i've got a mean streak
it's not a dotted line
it's a matter of fact
it's piece of my mind
It's a mean streak
it's improved and new
hit me once
and i'll show it to you
Love and money
almost the same
the less you make
the more your to blame
the more you have
the more you desire
you cheat someone
and your playing with fire
(chorus)
I used to keep
my temper tied
right under wraps
riding by my side
now i tend
to let it free
when the ways of the world
are getting wise with me
(chorus, repeat 1st verse)
Although i don't know how i'll manage
i won't let you take advantage of me
although i don't know how i'll manage
i won't let you take advantage of me
