Come on in through my screen door

Tell me all your care I'm hear to lend my ears

Where you been lately? Haven't seen much around here

Been hiding out in shade your skins all turned to gray

Did you eat today? When you coming home to stay

Don't you know I love you when you're down and dirty

Don't you know I love you when you're clean

Don't you know I love you when you're down and dirty

Don't you know I love you when you're clean

If you could see what I see

You'd see a boy who can't face things

Silent is all he is

You been looking around without your vision

Hearing things without listening

Suffering but feeling no real kind of pain

You know I like to help but when I let you ride for free

You drag me down into the cheap cheap scene

Don't you know I love you when you're down and dirty

Don't you know I love you when you're clean

Don't you know I love you when you're down and dirty

Don't you know I love you when you're clean

You got this thing against living with the best

But you sure like to visit me don't you

When the streets get too cold

When you're feeling weary and old

When your chances for survival are looking oh so slim

When all of a sudden you won't live to be 80

Maybe 90

Maybe 110

Don't you know

Don't you know

Don't you know

Don't you know I love you when you're down and dirty

Don't you know I love you when you're clean

Don't you know I love you when you're down and dirty

Don't you know I love you when you're clean

Oh I know everything ain't always what it seems to be

Don't you know I love you baby

Anyway I find you

Anyway you come

Anyway I find you

Anyway you come

Come on
