Looking like a choir girl Crying like a refugee Looking like a choir girl Crying like a refugee One nurse to hold her One nurse to wheel her down The corridors of heeling And I've been trying But she's crying like a refugee Loves me like a sister Loves me like an only child Loves me like a sister Loves me like an only child She's my connection I'll hold on And never, never, never let her down Cause she's alone And she loves me like an only child Suffer little children Send that little child to me All day the doctor Handles his responsibility Looking like a choir girl Crying like a refugee Looking like a choir girl Crying like a refugee She's my connection I'll hold on And never, never, never let her down 'Cause she's alone And she's crying like a refugee
