Lyrics
[verse]
He struts the alley like he owns the block
Leather jacket catching neon light
Every girl in town is round the clock
Trying to figure out his appetite
[chorus]
That's the hustler, that's the flame
Everybody wants to learn his name
Strutting through the city, wild and free
That's the hustler, that's the mystery
[verse]
He's a rumor dressed in borrowed shoes
Talking fast about a life uptown
Nobody knows the stories that he'll use
Nobody knows if he'll stick around
[chorus]
That's the hustler, that's the flame
Everybody wants to learn his name
Strutting through the city, wild and free
That's the hustler, that's the mystery
[bridge]
Saxophone is screaming down the street
Cameras flashing, rumors start to spread
He just smiles and taps his dancing feet
Living loud with nothing left unsaid
[chorus]
That's the hustler, that's the flame
Everybody wants to learn his name
Strutting through the city, wild and free
That's the hustler, that's the mystery
