Street Symphony Lyrics
Verse I:
There's something that I want to say
I feel a little out of place
But I need you to make that change
You promised to keep me out of the rain
I love the cars and everything, the diamond rings
But I loved you much more, baby
Bridge:
You said, that you were gonna stop when you
Had enough, do what you had to do
Now you, like the profession you've made it for yourself
You said, you cared about me and you
Now all, you wanna do is hustle you
Gotta choose, whatcha gone do when I'm not worth it to you baby
HOOK:
Never thought I’d be afraid to trust
Somebody that I love so much
If I can get him out of the streets
Then he could come back to me
Now I see that there ain't no us
Baby to me that's a definite plus
If I can't get you out of the streets
Then you don't need to be with me
Verse II:
Do you love me like you say
Maybe you could get away
From the life of doin' the wrong things
You promised
Don't make me read about it babe
Think of me before I’m gone
Cause when I'm gone, it will be to late
Bridge:
You said, that you were gonna stop when you
Had enough, do what you had to do
Now you, like the profession you've made it for yourself
You said, you cared about me and you
Now all, you wanna do is hustle you
Gotta choose, whatcha gone do when I'm not worth it to you baby
HOOK:
Never thought I’d be afraid to trust
Somebody that I love so much
If I can get him out of the streets
Then he could come back to me
Now I see that there ain't no us
Baby to me that's a definite plus
If I can't get you out of the streets
Then you don't need to be with me...(REPEAT)
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
HOOK:
Never thought I’d be afraid to trust
Somebody that I love so much
If I can get him out of the streets
Then he could come back to me
Now I see that there ain't no us
Baby to me that's a definite plus
If I can't get you out of the streets
Then you don't need to be with me...
Ending Bridge:
Visit the streets or me
The job has taken over pain
I know I've got to leave
Cause you weren't there for me
There's something that I want to say
I feel a little out of place
But I need you to make that change
You promised to keep me out of the rain
I love the cars and everything, the diamond rings
But I loved you much more, baby
You said, that you were gonna stop when you
Had enough, do what you had to do
Now you, like the profession you've made it for yourself
You said, you cared about me and you
Now all, you wanna do is hustle you
Gotta choose, whatcha gone do when I'm not worth it to you baby
Never thought I’d be afraid to trust
Somebody that I love so much
If I can get him out of the streets
Then he could come back to me
Now I see that there ain't no us
Baby to me that's a definite plus
If I can't get you out of the streets
Then you don't need to be with me
Do you love me like you say
Maybe you could get away
From the life of doin' the wrong things
You promised
Don't make me read about it babe
Think of me before I’m gone
Cause when I'm gone, it will be to late
You said, that you were gonna stop when you
Had enough, do what you had to do
Now you, like the profession you've made it for yourself
You said, you cared about me and you
Now all, you wanna do is hustle you
Gotta choose, whatcha gone do when I'm not worth it to you baby
Never thought I’d be afraid to trust
Somebody that I love so much
If I can get him out of the streets
Then he could come back to me
Now I see that there ain't no us
Baby to me that's a definite plus
If I can't get you out of the streets
Then you don't need to be with me...(REPEAT)
Never thought I’d be afraid to trust
Somebody that I love so much
If I can get him out of the streets
Then he could come back to me
Now I see that there ain't no us
Baby to me that's a definite plus
If I can't get you out of the streets
Then you don't need to be with me...
Visit the streets or me
The job has taken over pain
I know I've got to leave
Cause you weren't there for me

I think this is such a good song. I love Monica's songs about dating "thugs" because it just shows her personality and makes her seem really down to earth. This song is about how she needs her man to choose between her or the streets because she can't live that way.
One of the best songs of all time. So beautiful. Monica is an amazing artist.
