Gypsy Woman (She's Homeless)

(album: Surprise - 1991)

She wakes up early every morning
Just to do her hair now
'Cause she cares, y'all

Her day 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

La-da-dee, la-da-dow
La-da-dee, la-da-dow

You try, oh, not to care
About the homeless
'Cause you got your own mess

You barely make enough for you
Well is she all lies?
Should you apologize?

And then her smile says please
As she stands there, singing for money

La-da-dee, la-da-dow
La-da-dee, la-da-dow

In my sleep, I see her begging
Reaching please
Although the fault is not mine
I ask God, "Why?"
Oh God , why?

She's just like you and me
But she's homeless, she's homeless
As she stands there, singing for money

La-da-dee, la-da-dow
La-da-dee, la-da-dow

She wakes up early every morning
Just to do her hair now
'Cause she cares, y'all

Her day 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
She's homeless, she's homeless
She's homeless

She's just like you and me
As she stands there, singing for money

La-da-dee, la-da-dow
La-da-dee, la-da-dow
