Lyrics

cant tell anyone how funny it is
or explain who I used to be

showed me kindness
forever grateful
all the people who showed me
... kindness in my life
thank you..and God
thank you too

spent life.. homeless
wandering town to town
no friends no enemies
please don't..
dont cry for me

unless they're tears of joy
only tears of joy
for me

my earliest memory
sitting on the side of the road
getting splashed soaking wet by strangers
driving by fast and forever

and forever grateful I'll be
all the people who showed me
... kindness through my life
thank you

got lost once
chased by wild dogs
ran fast so afraid
climbed a tree
long time up there
lost interest in me
miracle get away
and thank you ..God..
that time had to be you in my life
or maybe your angels
you never turned
your back on me

but I was
turned away
from the front door
of many a restaurant
didnt know better ate my meals
from the garbage near the back door
later workers there
showed me kindness
and forever grateful
I'll be for leftovers
and a plastic fork
learned not to complain ..
so not complaining now

please don't.. dont cry for me
unless they are tears of joy

now .. I laugh cause
I'm popular
dont know how it happened
caused by genetics
my feminine beauty
just luck and
all the things
I had nothing to do with

invited to parties
shopping with friends
to the mall
and walk right in the front door
of the restaurants..
still cant help but wonder ..
whats going on
near the back door

and I
cant tell anyone
how funny it is
or explain who I used to be
forever grateful I'll be
to the people
who showed me kindness
in my life ... thank you

..and God thank you God
for everything ..
what a spectacular life
you have given me

please don't..
dont cry for me
unless they are tears of joy

gotta be ..tears of joy
got to be ..got to be ..tears of joy

you can let them out for me ...

let em out ... let em go
need to let em go

..are you crying for me
are you crying for me

cause.. Im crying for you

this my pain or your pain
your pain ... is my pain
and now
who 's crying for who
have to let it out.. let it out
all that sadness cant stay inside

draggin you down
draggin me down
draggin draggin
cry for me.. cry for me
tears of joy
only tears of joy

and the sadness
the hidden sadness
will stay our secret
please
