Eric Donaldson Love of the Common People song lyrics

LIVING ON FREE FOOD TICKET,

WATER IN THE MILK FROOM THE HOLES IN THE ROOF WHEN THE RAIN CAME THROUGH

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

TEARS FROM YOUR LITTLE SISTER,

CRYING CAUSE SHE DOESN'T HAVE A DRESS BUT A PATCH OH POOR LITTLE GIRL

BUT WHAT DO YOU KNOW SHE'LL GET BY

AND SHE WILL LIVE IN THE LOVE OF A COMMON PEOPLE,

SMILES FROM THE HEART OF A FAMILY MAN,

DADDY'S GONNA BUY YOU TWINKLE TWINKLE

MUMMY'S GONNA LOVE TILL AS MUCH AS SHE CAN

IT'S A GOOD THING YOU DON'T HAVE A BUS FARE

IT WILL FALL THROUGH THE HOLES IN YOUR POCKET AND YOU LOOSE IT TO THE SNOW AND THE GROUND

YOU GOT TO WALK INTO TOWN TO FIND A JOB

TRYING TO KEEP YOUR HANDS WARM

BUT THE HOLES IN YOUR SHOES AND THE SNOW COMES THROUGH BOY CHILLS YOU TO THE BONE

I SAY YOU BETTER GO HOME WHERE YOU'LL BE WARM

AND YOU WILL LIVE IN THE LOVE OF A COMMON PEOPLE

SMILES FROM THE HEART OF A FAMILY MAN

DADDY'S GONNA BUY YOU TWINKLE TWINKLE

MUMMY'S GONNA LOVE TILL AS MUCH AS SHE CAN,...SHE CAN, SHE CAN SHE CANNNN

LIVING ON DREAMS AINT EASY

THE CLOTHES UNDERNEATH

THE TIGHTER THEY FIT AND THE CHILL STAY AWAY

YOU GOT TO PUT ON YOUR STRIDE FAMILY PRIDE

YOU KNOW THAT FAITH IS YOUR FOUNDATION

WITH A WHOLE LOT OF LOVE AND A WARM CONVERSATION ALL OVER THE PLACE

I SAY YOU BETTER GO HOME

WHERE YOU'LL BE STRONG

AND YOU WILL LIVE IN THE LOVE OF A COMMON PEOPLE

SMILES FROM THE HEART OF A FAMILY MAN

DADDY'S GONNA BUY YOU TWINKLE TWINKLE

MUMMY'S GONNA LOVE TILL AS MUCH AS SHE CAN...
