lyrics :
She gets up early every morning
Just to do her hair now
Because she cares yeah
Her day oh wouldn't be right
Without her make up
She's never had a makeup
She's just like you and me
But she's homeless, she's homeless
As she stands there singing for money
La ra ree la ra ra
La ra ree la ra ra
La ra ree la ra ra
La ra ree la ra ra
You try hard not to care
About the homeless
You've got your own mess
You barely make enough for you
well is she all lies?
Should you apologize?
She's just like you and me
But she's homeless, she's homeless
As she stands there singing for money
La ra ree la ra ra
La ra ree la ra ra
La ra ree la ra ra
La ra ree la ra ra
In my sleep I see her begging
Preaching please
Although her body is not mine
I ask God now why, tell me why
She's just like you and me
But she's homeless, she's homeless
As she stands there singing for money
La ra ree la ra ra
La ra ree la ra ra
La ra ree la ra ra
La ra ree la ra ra
She's just like you and me
But she's homeless, she's homeless
She's just like you and me
But she's homeless, she's homeless
She's just like you and me
But she's homeless, she's homeless
