Candie Payne:
I was just a young girl
A girl with curly hair
Your mother called me family
I became quite close to her
I handled all the money
Washed the clothes and made the meals
In the night she’d wake up screaming
So you children slept with me
Candie Payne & St. Vincent:
They called us garage people
Where we lived there, you and me
When you’re poor, it’s like you’re naked
And every drop of rain you feel
Candie Payne:
When it rained we slept on boxes
There was water all around
St. Vincent:
But the people in the big house
Never bothered to find out
No clothes, no bed, no jewelry
Sometimes I had no shoes
I was just a young girl
A girl with curly hair
Your mother called me family
I became quite close to her
I handled all the money
Washed the clothes and made the meals
In the night she’d wake up screaming
So you children slept with me
Candie Payne & St. Vincent:
They called us garage people
Where we lived there, you and me
When you’re poor, it’s like you’re naked
And every drop of rain you feel
Candie Payne:

There was water all around
St. Vincent:
But the people in the big house
Never bothered to find out
No clothes, no bed, no jewelry
Sometimes I had no shoes
