Cher - Our Lady Of San Francisco Lyrics

Our Lady Of San Francisco

Our Lady Of San Francisco

Quote from Cher "The lyrics of this song are the sotry exactly how it happened. I was on my way to a famous fabric shop in San Francisco. I had only one hour off and I didn't feel like being charitable with my time or myself and just stepped over a woman lying in the street with only one shoe. What am I nuts? I went back - this is the story. I want to thank Bob Dole (you heard me, Bob rocks) for his courage and kindness for giving me permission to put this song on the album. I mean and meant no disrespect to him. When I write I don't edit my feelings. They just come from somewhere. I am so proud that he felt the song was worthy, even though I knoe he felt somewhat shell-shocked by the lyric. Again, I'm known for saying what I feel but my Mother did not traise me to be disrespectful to anyone, much less a hero. I felt the message of this song was strong enough to take the hits."

I met a woman in San Francisco
Who was lyin' in the street
I walked on past her in a hurry
I didn't want her at my feet

Am I just numb or overloaded
Or have I lost all sense of worth
This lady beggin' for survival
Doomed by a twist of fate from birth

i met this woman in San Francisco
She only had one shoe
Have we all gone crazy
How can this happen
Is there nothin' we can do

I don't believe that for a fuckin minute
No system's comin' to her rescue
While she lay crying
I felt helpless
Where are these crack
That she fell through

The times we live in have less value
Than Bob Dole's useless arm
There are no fires burning brightly
What's even worse
There's no alarm

I met this lady in San Francisco
She was dyin' at my feet
People passed her like she was nothin'
Less than garbage in the street

The times we live in must have value
We can't all turn away
'cos that woman who had nothin'
Might be me or you
Some day
Some day
Some day
Some day
