Love of the Common People - Paul Young

作曲：John Hurley/Ronnie Wilkins

Living on free food tickets

Water in the milk from a hole in the roof

Where the rain came through

What can you do

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

Smiles from the heart of the family man

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

And mama's gonna love her just as much as she can

And she can

It's a good thing you don't have busfare

It would fall through the whole in your pocket

And you'd lose it in the snow on the ground

You gotta walk into town to find a job

Trying to keep your hands warm when the hole in your shoe

Let's the snow come through and chills you to the bone

You better go home where it's warm

Where you can live in the love of the common people

Smiles from the heart of a family man

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

And mama's gonna love you just as much as she can

And she can

Living on a dream ain't easy

But the closer the knit the tighter the fit

And the chills stay away

Just take 'em in stride

For family pride

You know that faith is your foundation

And with a whole lot of love and a warm conversation

But don't forget to pray it's making it

strong where you belong

And we're living in the love of the common people

Smiles from the heart of a family man

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can

And she can

And we're living in the love of the common people

Smiles from the heart of a family man

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can

Living in the love of the common people

Smiles from the heart of a family man

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can

Living in the love of the common people

Smiles from the heart of a family man

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can

And she can
