"Gypsy Woman (La Da Dee)" lyrics
Strange Fruits Music, Steve Void & Sharon Doorson Lyrics
(originally by Crystal Waters)
She wakes up early every morning
Just to do her hair, now
Because she cares, ya'll
Her day, oh wouldn't be right
Without her makeup
She's never out of makeup
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 dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
In my sleep I see her begging
Preaching: "Please!"
Although her body's 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 dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
As she stands there singing for money...
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
As she stands there singing for money...
Just to do her hair, now
Because she cares, ya'll
Her day, oh wouldn't be right
Without her makeup
She's never out of makeup
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 dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
In my sleep I see her begging
Preaching: "Please!"
Although her body's 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 dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
As she stands there singing for money...
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
As she stands there singing for money...
