[Verse 1]
She wakes up early every morning
Just to do her hair, now
Because she cares, ya'll
Her day, oh, wouldn't be right
Without her makeup
She's never out of makeup
She's just like you and me
But she's homeless (She's homeless)
As she stands there singing for money
[Chorus]
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
[Verse 2]
In my sleep I see her begging
Preaching, "Please!"
Although the fault is not mine
I ask, "God why? God why?"
She's just like you and me
But she's homeless, she's homeless
As she stands there singing for money
[Chorus]
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
[Bridge]
She's just like you and me
As she stands there singing for money
[Chorus]
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
[Verse 2]
In my sleep I see her begging
Preaching, "Please!"
Although the fault is not mine
I ask now, why? God why?
She's just like you and me
But she's homeless, she's homeless
As she stands there singing for money
[Chorus]
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
[Outro]

You know, cause you know, cause you know
