I don't look for trouble
But it's always there
And somehow I can't keep away
I'm a bad-ass match
For a gun and badge
It's a dangerous game that I play
I sleep with one eye open
Almost every night
With the warm, hard, cold steel
Of a switchblade knife
I'm a street fighter
Don't stand in my way
I'm a street fighter
I know no other way
I see the world
Through angry eyes
With daggers in both hands
In a barroom brawl
Ain't gonna fall
I'm no ordinary man
I sleep with one eye open
Almost every night
And dream of love
That I must have lost
At least a thousand times
I'm a street fighter
Don't stand in my way
I'm a street fighter
I know no other way
I'm a street fighter
Don't you dare get in my way
Don't you dare get in my way
I'm a hurricane with lightnin' hands
I'm a hammer just about to fall
Like a cornered man
I'll take my stand
Don't you dare put my back to the wall
I'm a street fighter
Don't stand in my way
I'm a street fighter
I know no other way
I'm a street fighter
Don't stand in my way
I'm a street fighter
Don't you dare get in my way
Don't get in my way
