Street Hassle Lyrics

Cover art for Street Hassle lyrics by Lou Reed

"Slipaway"

Well, hey, man, that's just a lie That's a lie she tells her friends There's a real song, the real song She won't even admit to herself The beatin' in her heart, it's a song lots of people know It's a painful song A little sad truth Life's full of sad songs A penny for a wish Wishin' won't make you a soldier Or a pretty kiss or a pretty face Can't have it's way There're tramps like us who were born to pay

Love has gone away And there's no one here now And there's nothing left to way But, oh, how I miss him, baby Oh, baby, come on and slip away Come on, baby, why don't you slip away

Love has gone away Took the rings off my fingers And there's nothing left to say But, oh how, oh how I need you, baby Come on, baby, I need you baby Oh, please don't slip away I need your loving so bad, baby, please don't slip away
