Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just to do her hair now
Because she cares, y'all
Her day, oh, wouldn't be right
Without her makeup
She's never out of makeup
She's just like you and me
But she's homeless, she's homeless
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
You try, oh, not to care
About the homeless
But you got your own mess
You barely make enough for you
Well, is she alright?
Could you apologize?
And then I spotted these
As she stands there singing for money
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
In my sleep, I see her begging
Preaching, "Please"
Although her body's not mine
I ask, God, why? God, why?
She's just like you and me
But she's homeless, she's homeless
As she stands there singing for money
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
She wakes up early every morning
Just to do her hair now
Because she cares, y'all
Her day, oh, wouldn't be right
Without her makeup
She's never out of makeup
She's just like you and me
But she's homeless, she's homeless
She's homeless
She's homeless
She's homeless
She's just like you and me
As she stands there singing for money
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
La da dee la dee dow, la da dee la dee dow
The lyrics of Tristan Garner & Crystal Waters's song "Gypsy Woman" tell the story of a homeless woman who wakes up early to do her hair and makeup and stands on the street singing for money. The singer recognizes that many people try not to care about the homeless, but reminds the listener that this woman is not that different from us. She has a routine, she cares about her appearance, and she is trying to make a living. The singer asks God why this woman is homeless and in need, and feels a sense of empathy and connection with her.
The song prompts the listener to think about issues of homelessness, poverty, and inequality. It highlights the fact that people who are homeless are not so different from those who are housed, and that we should not ignore or dismiss their struggles. The repetitive use of the "la da dee la dee dow" refrain throughout the song creates a sense of catchiness and familiarity, making the listener feel more connected to the story being told.
