Randy Crawford (born Veronica Crawford, February 18, 1952, in Macon, Georgia, USA), is a jazz and R&B singer.
Crawford first polished her craft at club gigs from Cincinnati to St. Tropez, but made her name in mid 1970s in New York, where she sang with jazzmen George Benson on his album "Big Man" 1975) and Cannonball Adderley.

Her follow up solo efforts included "'One Day I'll Fly Away" (1980, Grand Prize for Tokyo International Music Festival); "'You Might Need Somebody" (1981); and "'Rainy Night In Georgia" (1981); which all became soul standards. Secret Combination (1981) stayed on the Billboard album chart for 60 weeks, after which her profile dipped, despite a return to the Top 10 with "Almaz" in (1986).
Naked And True (1995) brought Crawford back to her roots: it included Benson's "Give Me The Night", and confirmed her soul heritage by featuring Funkadelicists Bootsy Collins, Bernie Worrell and The Fred Wesley Horns. But she enjoyed her highest profile of the decade when rising starlet Shola Ama had a worldwide hit with a cover of " You Might Need Somebody" in 1997.
She still continues to make great R&B hits and performs on various Jazz Festivals around the world.

Randy Crawford Lyrics
I still hang around neither lost nor found
Hear the lonely sound of music in the night
Nights are always bright
That's all that's left for me, yeah
I play the street life
Because there's no place I can go
Street life, it's the only way I know
Street life
And there's a thousand cards to play
Until you play your life away
You dress and walk and talk
You're who you think you are
Street life, you can run away from time
Street life, for a nickel, for a dime
Street life, but you better not get old
Or you're gonna feel the cold
There's always love for sale
A grown up fairy tale
Prince charming always smiles
Behind a silver spoon
And if you keep t young
Your song is always sung
Your love will pay your way beneath the silver moon
Street life, street life, street life, oh street life

And there's a thousand cards to play

Just do you wanna be
And every night you shine
Just like a superstar
The type of life that's played
A temptin' masquerade
You dress, you walk, you talk
You're who, you think you are
Street life
You can run away from time
Street life
For a nickel, for a dime
Street life
But you better not get old

Lyrics
I play the streetlife because there's no place I can go
Streetlife, it's the only life I know
Streetlife and there's a thousand parts to play
Streetlife until you play your life away
You let the people see, just who you wanna be
And every night you shine just like a superstar
That's how the life is played a ten cent masquerade
You dress, you walk, you talk, you're who you think you are
Streetlife, you can run away from time
Streetlife for a nickel or a dime
Streetlife but you better not get old
Streetlife or you're gonna feel the cold
There's always love for sale a grown-up fairytale
Prince Charming always smiles behind a silver spoon
And if you keep it young, your song is always sung
Your love will pay your way beneath the silver moon

Vida Nas Ruas
Eu ainda estou por aí
Nem perdida, nem encontrada
Ouvir o som solitário da música na noite
Noites são sempre brilhantes
Isso é tudo o que me resta, yeah
Eu jogo a vida nas ruas
Porque não há nenhum lugar que eu possa ir
Vida nas ruas, é a única vida que eu conheço
Vida nas ruas, e há milhares de peças para jogar
Vida nas ruas, até que você joga sua vida fora
Você deixa as pessoas verem
Apenas quem você quer ser
E toda noite você brilha como uma estrela
É assim que a vida é jogada
Um baile de máscaras de dez centavos
Você está vestida, você anda, você fala
Você é quem você pensa que é
Vida nas ruas, você pode fugir de vez
Vida nas ruas, por cinco ou dez centavos
Vida nas ruas, mas é melhor você não envelhecer
Vida nas ruas, ou você vai sentir o frio
Existe sempre amor à venda
De conto de fadas adulto
O príncipe encantado sempre sorri
Atrás de uma colher de prata
E, se você mantê-lo jovem
Sua música é sempre cantada
Seu amor pagará
O seu caminho sob a lua de prata
Vida nas ruas
Vida nas ruas
Vida nas ruas
Oh, vida nas ruas

One of the greatest moments in cinema is when Jackie Brown strides into Del Amo with this song as the soundtrack (The fact that it's in S4 of Better Call Saul just improves it) 🤩
