[00:28.408]Born in a slum in Rome
[00:31.709]Born in filth and rags
[00:35.062]You climb the weary road of youth
[00:37.917]Alone and often sad
[00:41.618]You climb the hills your feet get sore
[00:45.189]And then your heart goes numb
[00:48.356]And as you reach your teenage years
[00:51.426]A whore you do become
[00:53.566]And as I see you
[00:56.817]My eyes fill with tears
[01:00.310]It’s the same old story
[01:03.564]It’s been going for years
[01:09.419]Well now all around you men do fall
[01:15.210]But you know don’t you know
[01:17.858]That you’re just lust’s pawn
[01:21.902]The poverty you felt in youth
[01:24.568]Well it still plays a part
[01:28.541]The poverty once in your purse
[01:31.541]Well now it’s in your heart
[01:34.002]And when I see you …
[01:36.725]My eyes fill with tears
[01:40.237]It’s the same old story
[01:43.432]It’s been going for years
[01:49.040]So now the money starts to flow
[01:51.592]Well how sweet for a short time
[01:55.395]But then the sweetness does turn sour
[01:58.466]It’s another weary time
[02:00.900]And when I see you …
[02:03.399]My eyes fill with tears
[02:06.954]It’s the same old story
[02:10.387]It’s been going for years
[02:13.689]And when I see you …
[02:16.979]My eyes fill with tears
[02:20.420]It’s the same old story
[02:23.818]It’s been going for years
