Well, you're brought up on the street Did ya make it on your own Are ya living in the shadow Crawling in the night Sleeping in the subway Beggin' for a fight Makes ya grow up hard, boy Aren't you ready for a fight I don't need no one You can keep you sympathy I live on my own I would make that company I don't need no one You can keep you sympathy I live on my own I would make that company I'm rough and ready tonight Crawling in the night Standing on the corner Asked ya for smoke I kick you in the deep, boy Steel away you girl Talked into a night fight They cut me to the bone Don't ya mess with me, boy Ya better leave me alone I would make that company I don't need no one You can keep you sympathy I live on my own I would make that company I don't need no one You can keep you sympathy I live on my own I would make that company I'm rough and ready tonight Maybe seeing a call girl I'll take ya for a ride The cops will never break me Steal away my pride If you're looking for a good time And ya wanna ride with me And you're feeling rough and ready Rough and ready with me You can change my life You can read my mind I don't want no one I don't have no one I don't need no one You can keep your sympathy Well, you're brought up on the street Did ya make it on your own Sleeping in the subway Begging for a fight Makes ya grow up hard, boy Ain't you ready for a fight I don't need no one You can keep you sympathy I live on my own I don't need no one You can keep you sympathy I live on my own I would make that company I'm rough and ready tonight Rough and ready tonight [Repeat to end]
