Karaoké Love of the Common People Paul Young

Living on free food tickets water in the milk from a hole in the roof

Where the rain came through

What can you do?

Ooh ooh

Tears from your little sister crying 'cos she doesn't have a dress without a patch

For the party to go but you know she'll get by

'Cos she's living in the love of the common people

Smile 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

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

It would fall through the hole in your pocket and you'd lose it

In the snow on the ground you got to walk into town to find a job

Tryin' to keep your hands warm when the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through and chills you to the bone

So now you'd better go home where it's warm

Where you can live in a love of the common people

Smile 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

Living on a dream ain't easy but the closer the knit the tighter the fit

And the chills stay away just keeping 'em in stride for family pride

You know that faith is in your foundation

And a whole lot of love and a warm conversation

But don't forget to pray just making you strong were you belong

We are living in the love of the common people

Smile 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

Living in the love of the common people

Smile 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

Smile 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

Smile 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
