Cecilia Lyrics - Singles - Franky Perez

Gypsy woman, come inside now 

And take a load off your feet 

You've been pounding the pavement 

Ain't told a fortune in weeks 

She spends here money on tequila 

She says, it keeps her warm 

They call her many things but her name's Cecilia 

Now don't you know, now don't you know 

Hey hey hey hey, Cecilia 

Don't you know the streets will kill ya? 

Don't you know your mama misses ya? 

Don't you know? Don't you know? 

Gypsy woman, say she don't need ya 

And asks for a ride to the liquor store 

She kills the bottle, gives praise to Jesus 

Then passes out on your living room floor 

She tells the story of a shotgun wedding 

And a birth of a stillborn child 

She was only 13 and her little body wasn't ready 

Babies watching babies die 

Hey hey hey hey, Cecilia 

Don't you know the streets will kill ya? 

Don't you know your mama misses ya? 

Don't you know? Don't you know? 

Hey hey hey hey, Cecilia 

I have seen the beauty in ya 

Don't you know you're one in a million? 

Don't you know? Don't you know? 

Hey hey hey hey, Cecilia 

Don't you know the streets will kill ya? 

Don't you know your mama misses ya? 

Don't you know? Don't you know? 

Hey hey hey hey, Cecilia 

I have seen the beauty in ya 

Don't you know you're one in a million? 

Don't you know? Don't you know?
