(Crystal Waters / Neal Conway) 1991
Album: Surprise - Mercury
She wakes up early every morning
Just to do her hair now
Because she cares, yoh
Her day oh wouldn't be right without her make up
She's never out of make up,
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 da la da dee la da da
You try hard not to care about the homeless
Cuz you got your own mess
Ya 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 da la da dee la da da
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
La da dee la da da la da dee la da da
She wakes up early every morning
Just to do her hair now
Because she cares, yoh
Her day wouldn't be right without her make up
She's never out of make up,
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
And she stands there singing for money
La da dee la da da la da dee la da da
La da dee la da da la da dee la da da
La da dee la da da la da dee la da da
La da dee la da da la da dee la da da
La da dee la da da la da dee la da da
La da dee la da da la da dee la da da
