(Ah ow, ah ah ya)
(What it now)
(He's so cold)
(Burr cha)

(Ah ow, ah ah ya)
(Ooh now, ooh now, ooh now)

(Ah ow, ah ah ya)
(He's so cold)
(What's it now)
(You're so cold)
(Ah ow, ah ah ya)

Living on free-food tickets
Water in the milk from a hole in the roof where the rain came through
What can you do, mmm?
Tears from your little sister
Crying because 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
Smile's from the heart of a family man (ah ah ya)
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can (you're so cold)
And she can

It's a good thing you don't have bus fare (it's a good thing)
It would fall through (ouch) the hole in your pocket and you'd lose it
In the snow on the ground (ah ow, ah ah ya)
You gotta walk into town
To find a job (what's it now)
Tryin' to keep your hands warm (it's so cold)
When the hole in your shoe let the snow come through
And chill you to the bone (brrr cha)
Somehow you'd better go home, where it's warm

Where you can live in a love of the common people
Smile's from the heart of a family man (ah ah ya)
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can (you're so cold)
And she can

Living on a dream ain't easy
But the closer the knit
The tighter the fit (the closer the knit)
And the chills stay away (ah ow, ah ah ya)
Just take 'em in stride for family pride
You know that faith is your foundation (ooh now, ooh now, ooh now)
With a whole lotta love and a warm conversation
But don't forget to pray (forget to pray)
Just making it strong where you belong

And we're living in the love of the common people
Smile's from the heart of a family man (what's it now)
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can (you're so cold)
And she can

Yes, we're living in the love of the common people
Smile's from the heart of a family man (ah ah ya)
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can (you're so cold)
Living in the love of the common people
Smile's from the heart of a family man (what's it now)
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can (you're so cold)
Living in the love of the common people
Smile's really hard on a family man (ah ah ya)
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can
And she can
