Lyrics

carlos and carmentita
just had a child
a lovely girl
with a crooked smile
now they gotta split
'cos the bronx ain't fit
for a kid
to grow up in
let's find a place they say
somewhere far away
where only
upper class people stay
but for the grace of god
oh god there go i
there go i, ay ay
ay ay
there but for the grace of god
oh god there go i ay ay ay ay
oh go i
papi and their family
left the dirty streets
to find a quiet place
overseas
and year after year
the kid has to hear
the do's and don'ts
and the dears
and when she's ten years old
she digs that rock n roll
but papi bags it
from the home
but for the grace of god
but for the grace of god, hey
there go i of god
there but for the grace of god
oh i
oh go i of god
it could be me it could be you
there but for the grace of god
no it couldn't be
oh go i
finally she turns out to be
a natural freak
gainin' weight
and losin sleep
and when
she's sweet sixteen
she packs
her things and leaves
with a man
she met on the street
carmen starts to bawl
with her head to the wall
too much love is worse
than none at all
but for the grace of god
there go i of god
go i go i
go i yeah
there but for the grace of god
oh go i of god
there i go i
yeah yeah yeah yeah
there but for the grace of god
oh go i of god
oh go go go i
there but for the grace of god
there but for the grace
there but for the grace
oh go i
there there there there god
