Lyrics for Song: Love Of A Common People
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Paul Young
(Ow, ah ah ya)
Living on free-food tickets.
Water in the milk from a hole in the roof where the rain came through.
What can you do, mmm?
Tears from your little sister,
Crying because she doesn't have a dress without a patch
For the party to go.
But you know
She'll get by.
'Cause she's living in the love of the common people,
Smile's from the heart of a family man (ah ah ya).
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to;
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can (you're so cold)
And she can.
It's a good thing you don't have busfare (it's a good thing);
It would fall through (ouch) the hole in your pocket and you'd lose it
In the snow on the ground (ow, ah ah ya).
You gotta walk into town
To find a job (what's it now).
Tryin' to keep your hands warm (it's so cold)
When the hole in your shoe let the snow come through
And chill you to the bone (brrr cha).
Somehow you'd better go home, where it's warm,
Where you can live in a love of the common people,
Smile's from the heart of a family man (ah ah ya).
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to;
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can (you're so cold)
And she can.
Living on a dream ain't easy,
But the closer the knit,
The tighter the fit (the closer the knit),
And the chills stay away (ow, ah ah ya) --
Just take 'em in stride for family pride.
You know that faith is your foundation (ooh now, ooh now, ooh now),
With a whole lotta love and a warm conversation,
But don't forget to pray (forget to pray).
Just making it strong where you belong.
And we're living in the love of the common people,
Smile's from the heart of a family man (what's it now).
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to;
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can (you're so cold).
And she can.
Yes, we're living in the love of the common people,
Smile's from the heart of a family man (ah ah ya).
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to;
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can (you're so cold).
Living in the love of the common people,
Smile's from the heart of a family man (what's it now).
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to;
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can (you're so cold).
Living in the love of the common people,
Smile's really hard on a family man (ah ah ya).
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to;
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can.
And she can.
