Streetwalker Lyrics

[Intro]
Why don't you give me some time (Ooh-ooh)
Won't you give me some time (Ooh-ooh)
Why don't you give me some time (Ooh-ooh)
Won't you give me some time (Ooh-ooh)
Why don't you give me some time (Ooh-ooh)
Won't you give me some time (Ooh-ooh)
(Oh!)

[Verse 1]
Pretty baby, are your kisses for your lover?
I really get it when you're next to me, yeah yeah
I'm so excited how you give it all your lovin'
I got it comin' and it's ecstasy

Streetwalkin' baby

[Verse 2]
'Cause every day, I watch you paint the town so pretty
I see you comin' in and off on my thought, yeah, yeah
You don't believe me then you can ask my brother
'Cause every day at six, home alone


[Pre-Chorus]
Because
Baby, I love you
Baby, I love you
Baby, I want you
Baby, come love me
Baby, I need you
You're so satisfying
[Verse 3]
I hear you walkin' 'cause your body's talkin' to me
I chase you every step of the way, yeah, yeah
An invitation to some faraway hot island
If I can show you, baby, home with me

[Chorus]
You see, I never met a girl just like you (Why don't ya?)
Come so easy, don't you break my heart 'cause I love you (Why don't ya?)
You see, I never met a girl just like you (Why don't ya?)
Come so easy, don't you break my heart 'cause I love you
Streetwalkin' baby

[Post-Chorus]
(Why don't you give me some time)
(Won't you give me some time)
(Why don't you give me some time)
(Won't you give me some)

[Verse 4]
I have to tell you that you give me strong hot fever
My every thought is you and that's a fact, yeah, yeah

I'd like to take you places, how about New York City?
Or Paris, France? What do you think of that?

[Pre-Chorus]
Because
Baby, I love you
Baby, I love you
Baby, I want you
Baby, come love me
Baby, I need you
Ah, ah, ah, dah!

You see, I never met a girl just like you (Won't ya, why don't ya?)
Come so easy, don't you break my heart 'cause I love you
You see, I never met a girl just like you (Won't ya, why don't ya?)
Come so easy, don't you break my heart 'cause I love you (Won't ya?)
Streetwalkin' baby

[Bridge with harmonica solo]
Daggone it, baby
Daggone it, baby

[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, I love you
Baby, I love you
Baby, I want you
Baby, come love me (Love me, baby, got to have some lovin')
Baby, I need you (Won't ya give some lovin'?)
Baby, I want you (Won't ya give your lovin'?)

Genius Annotation

“Streetwalker” was cut from the final track listing on Bad and replaced with “Another Part Of Me”.

Jackson sings about a fictional infatuation he has with a prostitute, about how she loves him and leaves him because it’s part of her job, but he fails to understand how she’s able to make love without attachment. He wants to whisk her away from the streets and make her his own:

I’d like to take you places
How about New York City
Or Paris, France
What do you think of that?

However, he fails to do so, as we can see from the outro to the song where he’s still pleading for her love and attention.
