If I could give you the world,
On a silver platter,
Would it even matter?
You'd still be mad at me.
If I can find in all this,
A dozen roses,
That I would give to you,
You'd still be miserable.
'Cause in reality,
I'm gon' be who I be,
And I don't feel no faults,
For all the lies that you bought,
You can try as you may,
Bring me down when I say,
That it ain't up to you,
Go on do what you do.
Hate on me hater,
Now or later,
Cause I'm gonna do me,
You'll be mad baby.
(Go head and hate)
Go head and hate on me hater,
I'm not afraid of,
What I got I paid for,
You can hate on me.
Ooh if I gave you peaches,
Out of my own garden,
And I made you a peach pie,
Would you slap me high?
Wonder if I gave you diamonds,
Out of my own room,
Would you feel the love in that?
Or ask why not the moon.
If I gave you sanity,
For the whole of humanity,
And had all the solutions,
For the pain and pollution,
No matter where I live,
Despite the things I give,
You will always be this way,
So go ahead and...
Hate on me hater,
Now or later,
Cause I'm gonna do me,
You'll be mad baby.

Just a small town girl
livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere
A singer in a smoky room
The smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the nights
Streetlights, people
Living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the nights
Working hard to get my fill,
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some are born to sing the blues
And now the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
Don't stop believin
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight, people
(repeat)
Don't stop!
