Gypsy Woman
Waters Crystal Lyrics
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 song "Gypsy Woman" by Waters Crystal is a heartfelt and emotional tribute to the struggles of homeless people. The lyrics describe a woman who is just like everyone else, waking up early every morning to do her hair and makeup because she cares about her appearance. But unlike most people, this woman is homeless and has to stand on the street and sing for money just to survive. The singer acknowledges that many people try not to care about the homeless, as they have their own problems to deal with, but she asks listeners to consider the woman's plight and maybe even apologize for not doing more to help.
The lyrics also describe how the singer sees the homeless woman in her dreams, begging and preaching for help. She wonders why God would allow someone to live in such poverty and desperation, when they are just like anyone else. The repetition of the line "she's just like you and me" drives home the message that homelessness can happen to anyone, and that these individuals deserve our understanding and compassion.
Overall, "Gypsy Woman" is a poignant and powerful reminder that we should never forget the struggles of those who are less fortunate, and that we should always strive to help others who are in need.

This song takes me back...
To the year 1991...
Doing the MONZA dance...
Emandondweni...
Mlokothwa High School...
KwaNongoma, KZN, RSA...
Still a phat jam "Na Nou"...
Not everything was great back then...
But the music was...
Salute to the class of 1992...
And my Principal - Dee Dee (RIP)

It sounds deep but it's inaccurate. Most homeless are mean snakes even when you try to help them. That's how it is here in CA. Maybe it's different elsewhere.
