I recently heard a song which I recognise but cant ID, Not sure on the lyrics either really but it sounds like an 80's song and goes something like:
"Streetlife, oh streetlife.......stay with me"
Can anyone please help?

Try "Street Life" by Randy Crawford & the Crusaders from the "Jackie Brown" soundtrack.
I play the street life
Because there's no place I can go
Street life
It's the only life I know
Street life
And there's a thousand cards to play
Street life
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
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
Street life
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 it 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
Hmm, Yeah, oh
I play the street life
Because there's no place I can go
Street life
It's the only life I know
Street life
There's a thousand cards to play
Street life
Until you play your life away
Oh !
Street life, street life, street life, oh street life...
Them that can, do; them that can't... memorize Artist and Title
Thanks but that's not it. Don't know if they are the right lyrics but they are similar. The song sounds like a male singer and sounds very 80's/electric
Roxy Music - Street Life

Lyrics
Wish everybody would leave me alone -yeah
They´re always calling on my telephone
When I pick it up there´s no one there
So I walk outside just to take the air
Come on with me cruising down the street
Who knows what you´ll see, who you might meet - oh
This brave new world´s not like yesterday -
It can take you higher than the milky way
Now i'm blinded I cant really see - yeah
No more bright lights confusing me - no
Don´t ask me why i´m feeling blue
cause loving you is all I can do
Hey good-looking boys - gather around
The sidewalk papers gutter-press you down
All those lies can be so unkind,
They can make you feel like you´re losing your mind
Street life
Street life
Street life
What a life
Back to nature boys - vasser girls too
Watch what you say, or think, or do
Continental-style strasse girls might
But you know exactly if it´s wrong or right
Education is an important key - yes
But the good life´s never won by degrees - no
Pointless passing through harvard or yale
Only window shopping - its strictly no sale
Week end starts friday soon after eight
Your jet black magic helps you celebrate
You may be stranded if you stick around
- and that´s really something...
EDIT #1
Just read your first post - It doesn't have the "stay with me tonight" bit...
EDIT #2
Someone took my original post out:
Street Life with Randy Crawford on vocals is actually credited to THE CRUSADERS as she is guest vocallist.
* Difference of opinion is not argument, only difference.
* Just because you don't like something, doesn't make it sh*t
* You are all individual, just like everyone else.
Thanks for your reply but thats not it either. it sort of sounds like a Go West type track if there is such a thing and I think the lyrics I put in are part of the chorus.
