Stranded On Easy Street Lyrics - Bruce Hornsby

Well, she was so fine on the first impression 

Taken, taken in by the view 

With eyes so soft and a face so smooth 

Well, I found her selling in a fashion booth 

All that I said was, "Do you sell suits?" 

Said, "You're a scream and your accent's so cute" 

Mother had to meet me, it all sounded funny 

Then my friends told me, "Well, the girls got money" 

It's alright, it's okay 

Hey, don't you worry about a thing 

You're the king today but there's a price you may pay 

If you take your seat in the royal suite 

You might get stranded on easy street 

Well, she said she was when a good time girl 

Laughing, laughing a bit too loud 

When such a face the specialist creates 

Well, she gets the benefit of the doubt 

I know that she wanted more than I could give 

But just had to see how the other half lived 

Showed me to her friends, she showed me her throne 

I didn't sell my soul, I just a took out a loan 

It's alright, it's okay 

Hey, don't you worry about a thing 

You're the king today but there's a price you may pay 

If you take your seat in the royal suite 

You might get stranded on easy street 

Run to her mother, the social x ray star 

She put me at the wheel of her father's new car 

Loved, how her touch made me want to drive farther 

She loved how her money meant, she'd tell me how far 

Hey, it's alright, it's okay 

Hey, don't you worry about a thing 

You're the king today but there's a price you may pay 

If you take your seat in the royal suite 

You might get stranded on easy street 

You might get stranded on easy street 

Might get stranded on easy street
