Jessica Mauboy - Love of the Common People lyrics

She's 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, hmm and she can
Living on free food tickets
Water in the milk from a hole in the roof
Where the rain came through
What can you do, hmm?

Tears from your little sister
Crying 'cause 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 a family man

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love you
Just as much as she can, hmm and she can

It's a good thing you don't have a bus fare
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
Let the snow come through
And chill you to the bone
Now you'd better go home where it's warm

Where you can live 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, hmm and she can

Living on a dream ain't easy
But the closer the knit the tighter the fit
And the chills stay away

'Cause we take 'em in stride
For family pride you know that faith
Is in your foundation
With a whole lot of love
And a warm conversation
But don't forget to pray
Just it's makin' 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, hmm and she can

And we're living in
The love of the common people
Smile's 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, hmm and she can
