George Michael - Hand To Mouth Lyrics
Jimmy got nothing made himself a nameWith a gun that he polished for a rainy dayA smile and a quote from a vigilante movieOur boy jimmy just blew them all awayHe said it made him crazyTwenty five years living hand to mouthHand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouthSweet little baby on a big white doorstepShe needs her mother but her mother is deadJust another hooker that the lucky can forgetJust another hookerIt happens everydayShe loved her little babyBut she couldnt bear to see her living hand to mouthHand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouthI believe in the gods of americaI believe in the land of the freeBut no one told me(no one told me)That the gods believe in nothingSo with empty hands I prayAnd from day to hopeless dayThey still dont see me(see me)Everybody talks about the new generationJump on the wagon or theyll leave you behindBut no one gave a thought to the rest of the nationLike to help you buddy, but I havent got the timeSomebody shouted save meBut everybody started living hand to mouthHand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouthTheres a big white ladyOn a big white doorstepShe asked her daddy and her daddy said yesHas to give a little for the dollars that we getHas to give a little -They say its for the bestSomebody shoutedMaybeBut they kept on living from hand to mouthHand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouthSo she ran to the arms of americaAnd she kissed the powers that beAnd someone told me(someone told me)That the gods believe in nothingSo with empty hands I prayAnd I tell myselfOne dayThey just might see me...(return to top)
