Street Side Dr. John

You been from bed to bed
You still at the post, you been from man to man
Lover to lover, in and out of doors
Your friends in the underworld
May put a contract out on me
But this tragic, magic love we got
Just won't let me be

You always crave the sleazy side of life
Your yesterdays, todays and tomorrows
Is aimed at life and livin' on the street side

Your main squeeze got a tough reputation
But my love for you my darlin' my dear
My only one in my life, overcome my intimidation
I don't know, I don't even know
If there's hope anymore
To try to change your charts around
Maybe the vеry worst thing for all I know

You always crave the sleazy sidе of life
Your yesterdays, todays and tomorrows
Is aimed at life and livin' on the street side

I know you ain't got eyes
To get yourself married
No, not even to settle down
How can I snuff this ole torch
That I been carryin'
I been carryin' it all around this town
Runnin' me dead in the ground
