Well, you're brought up on the street 
 Did ya make it on your own 
 Are ya living in the shadow 
 Crawling in the night 
 Sleeping in the subway 
 Beggin' for a fight 
 Makes ya grow up hard, boy 
 Aren't you ready for a fight 

 I don't need no one 
 You can keep you sympathy 
 I live on my own 
 I would make [bad word] 
 I don't need no one 
 You can keep you sympathy 
 I live on my own
 I would make [bad word] 
 I'm rough and ready tonight 
 Crawling in the night
 Standing on the corner 
 Asked ya for smoke 
 I kick you in the deep, boy 
 Steel away you girl 
 Talked into a night fight
 They cut me to the bone 
 Don't ya mess with me, boy 
 Ya better leave me alone 
 I would make [bad word]  I don't need no one 
 You can keep you sympathy 
 I live on my own 
 I would make [bad word] 
 I don't need no one 
 You can keep you sympathy
 I live on my own 
 I would make [bad word] 
 I'm rough and ready tonight 

 Maybe seeing a call girl 
 I'll take ya for a ride 
 The cops will never break me 
 Steal away my pride 
 If you're looking for a good time 
 And ya wanna ride with me 
 And you're feeling rough and ready 
 Rough and ready with me 
 You can change my life 
 You can read my mind 
 I don't want no one 
 I don't have no one 
 I don't need no one 
 You can keep your sympathy 

 Well, you're brought up on the street 
 Did ya make it on your own 

 Sleeping in the subway 
 Begging for a fight 
 Makes ya grow up hard, boy 
 Ain't you ready for a fight 

 I don't need no one 
 You can keep you sympathy 
 I live on my own 

 I don't need no one 
 You can keep you sympathy 
 I live on my own 
 I would make [bad word] 
 I'm rough and ready tonight 

 Rough and ready tonight
