Inna From Mexico (Album Version)

歌詞

Inna came from Mexico She'd tried to find a job She figured she'd work on a rich girl's nails That couldn't be so hard Inna's got a 12 year old And she dies inside She can't get the picture from her eyes Of leavin' her little girl behind She's gonna find a daddy here And her little girl's gonna come here to But just like every other dream so far She knows that one probably won't come true And you can see it in her smile looking at her eyes Yeah thats right she keeps you smiling when she's about to cry And I think she knows the truth but she whispers fate Inna's friends back home think she's got it made So every week she sends some money home She says things here are going well She doesn't let the tears touch the page It'd stain the letter all to hell I met Inna at a grocery store We were waiting in line I asked her who the Barbie doll was for Who'd have thought I had asked her who died So I started to apoligize Man I was just trying to kill some time But I still can't get Inna from my mind I will never look behind Cause I can see it in her smile looking at her eyes Yeah thats right she keeps you smiling when she's about to cry And I think she knows the truth but she whispers fate Inna's friends back home think she's got it made Yes I think she knows the truth but she whispers fate Inna's friends back home think she's got it made
