Ben E. King - Street Tough [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Living on the city street tough
Living on the city street tough
Living on the city street tough
When you're street tough

You came down the ups and downs of life turnin' you round
You got to keep on moving on
Places you know, people you see thats where you find
The answers to survive, learning things as you go
And now you're traveling down the path
Of life where only fools dare to go
And even though you're losing
You know you just can't let it show

When you're street tough
You got to learn to be strong
When you're street tough
You got to take care of your own
Street tough
Win or lose live or die
Street tough
When you're street tough

And through the years you hold your tears
You have to face, you got to to survive
Doing the things you got to do, you know you're better
If you want to stay alive (stay alive)

You're traveling down the path
Of life where only fools dare to go
And even though you're losing
You know you just can't let it show
When you're street tough
You got to try for yourself
When you're street tough
You got to fight like hell to get somewhere
Street tough
There's nobody out there who really cares
Street tough
Lord, when you're street tough

Living on the city street tough

And now you're traveling down the path
Of life where only fools dare to go
And even though you lose sometimes
You just can't let it show

When you're street tough
Living on the city street tough
Living on the city street tough
Living on the city street tough

Round and round the chances go
Where you'll stop nobody knows
When you're street tough
Lord, when you're street tough
Whats right for you is wrong for them
Don't wanna hurt nobody but you got to make it for yourself

When you're street tough
Living on the city street tough
