Every Drop Of Rain

Lyrics

[Verse: Candie Payne] 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 [Chorus: Candie Payne & St. Vincent] 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 [Verse: Candie Payne & St. Vincent] When it rained, we slept on boxes There was water all around But the people in the big house Never bothered to find out No clothes, no bed, no jewelry Sometimes I had no shoes A typhoon came, the house collapsed And the neighbors passed us food [Chorus: Candie Payne & St. Vincent] 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 [Bridge: St. Vincent] Every little tiny drop of rain you feel Every drop of rain Every little tiny drop of rain you feel Every drop of rain [Verse: Candie Payne & St. Vincent] I handled our finances I myself was never paid My teachers paid a visit I felt, felt so ashamed But I had kept my dignity Some things cannot be killed I smiled and kept my head up A Romualdez I was still [Chorus: Candie Payne & St. Vincent] 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 [Outro: Candie Payne & St. Vincent] 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
