Lyrics

Angel

[Verse]

All up and down the boulevard

All the boys are looking hard

Trying to score, trying to make a pass

Anything at all, don't have to last

[Verse]

Angel, she's afraid now

She don't know about street guys

She don't know how to hurt you deep

Let her play for keeps

[Chorus]

Cut you like a knife, angel

When you survive

Cut you like a knife, angel

Street life

[Verse]

Blue hard hands and car trucks

Hustlers, lovers, come out the dark

They all know and it's a fact

Angel, you better stand back

[Verse]

Sun cools down, the street come to life

Here come the boys with all the drive

Any woman can do this

They don't really care

[Chorus]

Cut you like a knife, angel

When you survive

Cut you like a knife, angel

Street life

[Verse]

All up and down the boulevard

All the boys are looking hard

Trying to score, trying to make a pass

Anything at all

[Chorus]

Cut you like a knife, angel

When you survive

Cut you like a knife, angel

Street life

Cut you like a knife, angel

When you survive

Cut you like a knife, angel

Street life
