Day-in, day-out
Stay-in, fade-out
Day-in ooh-ooh
Day-out ooh-ooh ooh

She was born in a handbag
Love left
On a doorstep
What she lacks is a backup
Nothing seems to make a dent
Gonna find her some money honey
Try to pay her rent
That's the kind of protection that everyone is shouting about

Day-in (day in), day-out (day out)
Stay-in fade-out
Day-in ooh-ooh
Day-out ooh-ooh ooh

First thing she learns is
She's a citizen
Some things they turn out right
When you're under the usa
Someone rings a bell
And it's all over
She's going out of her way
Stealing for that one good rush

Day-in (day in), day-out (day out)
Stay-in fade-out

She could use a little money
She's hangin' on his arms
Like a cheap suit
She's got no money, honey
She's on the other side
Oh come on little baby
Late night, big town
Police, shake down

Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Day-in, day-out
Stay-in, fade-out
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Day-in day-out

She's got a ticket to nowhere
She's gonna take a train ride
Nobody knows her, or knows her name

She's in the pocket of a home boy
Ooh she's gonna take her a shotgun, pow
Spin the grail spin the drug
She's gonna make them well aware
She's an angry gal

Day-in (day in), day-out (day out)
Stay-in fade-out
