Alicia

Lyrics

Alicia lives in an old stucco home in Pomona And she comes to my house every day in an old beat-up motor And she washes and waxes the floor Feeds the baby and tries to ignore How she ended up down on her knees, tryin' so hard to please In the morning, she rubs and she scrubs and she rues the occasion When she met the young man in the band of the Latin persuasion And she tells us of when she was rich And her beautiful family wish Somehow, suddenly simply vanished up into thin air Ah, Alicia You're alone, you're alive, you're okay Oh, Alicia Forgiven them all, but you're givin' all your livin' away She worked at my house through the rest of the summer vacation And she never complained of the rain or of her isolation And she tried on the days she was off To locate her old man who'd run off Leavin' nothin' behind but some bills and a fine to remind her Oh, Alicia You're alone, you're alive, you're okay Oh, Alicia Forgiven them all, but you're givin' all your livin' away Alicia asked me to ask some advice from a lawyer He told me he'd handle the case if she'd let him enjoy her Alicia laughed 'til she cried If that's American justice, well, I've No intention of givin' love simply for a quick consultation Oh, Alicia You're alone, you're alive, you're okay Oh, Alicia Forgiven them all, but you're givin' all your livin' away Alicia Alicia Alicia
