Come on in through my screen door
Tell me all your care I'm hear to lend my ears
Where you been lately? Haven't seen much around here
Been hiding out in shade your skins all turned to gray
Did you eat today? When you coming home to stay
Don't you know I love you when you're down and dirty
Don't you know I love you when you're clean
Don't you know I love you when you're down and dirty
Don't you know I love you when you're clean
If you could see what I see
You'd see a boy who can't face things, silent is all he is
You been looking around without your vision
Hearing things without listening, suffering but feeling no real kind of pain
You know I like to help but when I let you ride for free
You drag me down into the cheap cheap scene
Don't you know I love you when you're down and dirty
Don't you know I love you when you're clean
Don't you know I love you when you're down and dirty
Don't you know I love you when you're clean
You got this thing against living with the best
But you sure like to visit me don't you
When the streets get too cold, when you're feeling weary and old
When your chances for survival are looking oh so slim
When all of a sudden you won't live to be 80, maybe 90, maybe 110
Don't you know
Don't you know
Don't you know
Don't you know I love you when you're down and dirty
Don't you know I love you when you're clean
Don't you know I love you when you're down and dirty
Don't you know I love you when you're clean
Oh, I know everything ain't always what it seems to be
Don't you know I love you baby
Anyway I find you, anyway you come
Anyway I find you, anyway you come
Come on
Come on
Come on
