The Streets of Philadelphia

Now, I’m a player from the streets of Philadelphia
And, now my sound is round and deep and brown and blue sometimes
I don’t profess to be an opera star
Or, preach the bible afar
But, I’ll play and play and play my songs for you
And I hope you don’t get confused
This wild affair has just begun
Please don’t get the wrong idea
I’m real
Now, I’m a player from the streets of Philadelphia
You know, my ma she told me that you were the one who had a lot to say
Now, as I’m sitting here thinking of you
My heart has gone to you
I just love the way you came into my life
You know there’s nothing that can keep us apart
This odd affair has just begun
Please don’t get the wrong idea
I’m real
Now, I’m a player from the streets of Philadelphia
You know, I love the way you say that you love me when I’m loving you
You know, I really really want you to know
That our love does really show
What a life we have at hand, at last, my dear
I know you really really want to be here
This love affair has just begun
Please don’t get the wrong idea
I am real
Now, I’m a player from the streets of Philadelphia
And, now my sound is round and deep and brown and blue sometimes
I don’t profess to be an opera star
Or, preach the bible afar
But, I’ll play and play and play my songs for you
And I hope you don’t get confused
This love affair has just begun
Please don’t get the wrong idea
I am real
