Are on the street, if you look (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stare

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'you look' is the definition.
'stare' can be an answer for 'look' (stare is a kind of look). I am unsure of the 'you' bit.

'are on the street' is the wordplay.
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'the street' becomes 'st'.
'are' after 'st' is 'STARE'.

'if' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stare that I've seen before include "Long fixed look" , "Gaze fixedly" , "Look hard" , "bird" , "Look with fixed gaze" .)
