Streets
Disclosure & Doja Cat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Baby, we tried to fight it
We all been there some days
Thought I needed something else
And acted like I was okay
We just had to work it out
And baby, I needed space
Ain't nobody 'round here on your level
You're so far away
You're pouring your heart out
I'm acting like I knew
You held me so down
So down I never grew, oh
I tried to find out
When none of them came through
And now I'm stuck in the middle
And baby had to pull me out, oh

Like you, like you
Like you, ooh
I found it hard to find someone like you
Like you, like you

Like you, like you
Like you, ooh
I found it hard to find someone like you
Like you, like you

Send your location, come through
Like you, like you
Send your location, come through
Like you, like you
Send your location, come through

Mmm, mmm, mmm
Send your location, come through
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Send your location, come through

Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm

Damn papa, you a rare breed, no comparing
And it's motherfuckin' scary
Tryna keep him 'cause I found him
Let a ho know I ain't motherfuckin' sharing
I could take you to the parents, then to Paris
Plan a motherfuckin' wedding
You the type I wanna marry (yeah) and keep you merry
I'll put the ring on when you ready
We play our fantasies out in real life ways and
No Final Fantasy, can we end these games though?
You give me energy, make me feel lightweight
Like the birds of a feather, baby
We real life made for each other
And it's hard to keep my cool
When other bitches tryna get with my dude and
When other chickens tryna get in my coop
'Cause you're a one in a million
There ain't no man like you

Like you (real life ways)
Like you (can we end these games)
Like you, ooh
I found it hard to find someone like you (keep my cool)
Like you (get in my coop)
Like you (get in my coop)

I can't sleep no more
In my head, we belong
And I can't be without you
Why can't I find no one like you?
I can't sleep no more
In my head, we belong
And I can't be without you
Why can't I find no one like you?
I can't sleep no more
In my head, we belong
And I can't be without you
Why can't I find no one like you?
I can't sleep no more
In my head, we belong
And I can't be without you
Why can't I find no one like

Mmm, mmm, mmm




Mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm

In the song "Streets" by Disclosure & Doja Cat, the lyrics depict a complex and tumultuous relationship between two individuals. The singer reflects on a time when they were struggling in the relationship, feeling the need for space and pretending to be okay when they weren't. The singer acknowledges that their partner is on a different emotional level and feels distant, despite pouring their heart out. The lyrics highlight the internal conflict of trying to find someone who truly understands and connects with them.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the difficulty in finding someone like the partner being sung about. The repetition of "Like you, like you" underscores the uniqueness of this individual and the struggle to find a comparable connection. The plea to "send your location, come through" signifies a desire for physical presence and emotional closeness, indicating a longing for the special bond they share.

She dreams of a future together, from meeting the parents to planning a wedding, highlighting the depth of her feelings and commitment. The lyrics capture a sense of possessiveness and protectiveness towards her partner, as she values him as one-of-a-kind and expresses frustration with outside interference.


In the final part of the song, the singer struggles with the idea of moving on from their partner, feeling like they belong together and unable to find anyone else like them. The repetition of "I can't sleep no more" conveys the anguish of contemplating a life without the person they are singing about. The lyrics convey a deep emotional longing and a sense of irreplaceability when it comes to this special connection, ultimately leaving the listener with a poignant portrayal of the complexities of love and relationships.
