St. Vincent - Every Drop Of Rain lyrics

Estrella: I was just a young girl A girl with curly hair Your mother called me family I became quite close to her I handled all the money Washed the clothes and made the meals In the night she'd wake up screaming So you children slept with me Estrella & Imelda: They called us garage people Where we lived there, you and me When you're poor, it's like you're naked And every drop of rain you feel Estrella: When it rained we slept on boxes There was water all around Imelda: But the people in the big house Never bothered to find out No clothes, no bed, no j**elry Sometimes I had no shoes Estrella: A typhoon came, the house collapsed And the neighbors pa**ed us food Estrella & Imelda: They called us garage people Where we lived there, you and me When you're poor, it's like you're naked And every drop of rain you feel Every little tiny drop of rain you feel Every drop of rain Every little tiny drop of rain you feel Every drop of rain Estrella: I handled our finances I myself was never paid Imelda: My teachers paid a visit I felt, felt so ashamed But I had kept my dignity Some things cannot be k**ed I smiled and kept my head up A Romualdez I was still Estrella & Imelda: They called us garage people Where we lived there, you and me When you're poor, it's like you're naked And every drop of rain you feel Every little tiny drop of rain you feel Every drop of rain Every little tiny drop of rain you feel Every drop of rain Every little tiny drop Every little tiny drop Every drop of rain
