They said you went down to the Grove looking to score 
(Oh, what a bore) 
"It was a really heavy scene down there" 
I've heard that before 
And then you, you bought one gram of icing sugar 
Well, I guess that's "sweet as"
Oh, you - yeah, you are such a street operator 
You know just where you're coming from - oh yeah 
And you have really got it together 
and nobody can put you on 
And you get it right, oh, every single night 
So how come you're alone? 
Yeah, how come you're alone?
You went to the South Bank for the Salsa just last night 
(Oh, outtasight!) 
Got short-changed by the barmaid 
but you daren't, you daren't put her right 
But you really took it out on her later 
on your own in the middle of the night
Oh, you - oh you are such a street operator 
You know just where you're coming from - oh yeah 
Yeah, you have really got it together 
and nobody can put you on 
And you get it right, oh, every single night 
So how come you're alone? 
Yeah, how come you're alone?
Why don't you just face it? 
You can no longer fake it 
Why don't you just go?
Oh, you - oh you are such a street operator 
You know just where you're coming from - oh yeah 
And you have really got it together 
and nobody can put you on 
And you get it right, oh, every single night 
So how come you're alone? 
Yeah, how come you're alone? 
How come you're alone? 
Yeah, how come you're alone?
