At night through the shadows and the alleys I tread
I need somewhere to lay my head
You know I'm a backstreet girl in rags and tatters
I haven't got a cent, I haven't got a sou
And even if I did I wouldn't give it to you
'Cos you left me when I thought friends really mattered
I'd drink to forget my
misery
But there's a hole in my pocket where my money used to be
And I don't have a friend, I can't beg or borrow
Got a threadbare smile that's wearing pretty thin
Down and out shoes where the rain's coming in
But I'm holding out, I'll wait till tomorrow
'Cos one day my ship will
come in
And that's when all the changes begin
I've been broke, I've been bust
All my dreams made of dust
But tomorrow it all comes to me
Backstreet girl
Backstreet girl
The wolf's at my door,
my life's in the red
You took my heart and squeezed till it bled
Now I've had enough, you don't have the answers
The time has come to play my game
Win or lose it's all the same
Gonna deal my own cards and take my chances
'Cos one day my ship will
come in
And that's when all the changes begin
I've been broke, I've been bust
All my dreams made of dust
But tomorrow it all comes to me
Yes one day my ship will
come in
And that's when all the changes begin
I've been broke, I've been bust
All my dreams made of dust
But tomorrow it all comes to me
Backstreet girl
I'm a backstreet girl
