The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

When I wake in the morning

I'm on the telephone

And I try to talk to ya

They say you're not home

Way back in the background

I hear you callin' my name

You say you don't wanna talk to me

You've had enough of me

Now I'm back in the streets

I've got nothing to lose

Just leave me alone

Don't call me no more

And I'm back in the streets

Now that you told me to go

Just leave me alone

Don't call me no more

And I'm out on the corner

I hear the sirens wails

You know they're coming to get me

Yeah, they'll take me to jail

Well, I can't stay out of trouble

Since you let me go

Now I'm back on the streets

I got nothing to lose

Now I'm back on the streets

Like you told me to go

Just leave me alone

Don't call me no more

And I'm back in the streets

Now that you told me to go

Just leave me alone

Don't call me no more

I'm out on the corner

I hear the sirens wail

And they're coming to get me

And they'll take me to jail

Well, I can't stay out of trouble

Since you let me go

Now I'm back on the streets

I got nothing to lose

Now I'm back in the streets

Like you told me to go

Just leave me alone

Don't call me no more

Now I'm back in the streets

Now that you told me to go

Just leave me alone

Don't call me no more

Now I'm back on the streets

And I'm back in the streets

Don't call me no more
