Lyrics Love of the Common People - Eric Donaldson

Living on free food ticket
Water in the milk from the holes in the roof
When the rain came through
What can you do? Oh oh oh
Tears from your little sister
Crying ′cause she doesn't have a dress without a patch for a party to go
What do you know, she′ll get by
For she's living in the love of a common people
Smiles on the heart of a family man
Daddy's gonna buy you twinkle, twinkle
Mummy′s gonna love you till as much as she can
It′s a good you don't have a bus fare
It will fall through the holes in your pocket
And you lose it in the snow on the ground
You got to walk into town to find a job
Trying to keep your hands warm
But the holes in your shoe
And the snow got 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 on the heart of a family man
Daddy's gonna buy you twinkle twinkle
Mummy′s gonna love you 'til as much as she can
She can, she can, she can
She can, she can, she can
Living on dreams ain′t easy
The closer the knits
The tighter the fit and the chill stay away
You got to take them in stride, family pride
You know that faith is your foundation
With a whole lot of love
And a warm conversation man don't forget the place
I say you better go home
You'll be strong
And you will live in the love of a common people
Smiles on the heart of a family man
Daddy′s gonna buy you twinkle twinkle
Mummy′s gonna love you 'til as much as she can
She can, she can, she can
She can, she can, she can
Oh oh!′
