She calls out to the man on the street "Sir, can you help me? It's cold and I've nowhere to sleep Is there somewhere you can tell me?"
He walks on, doesn't look back He pretends he can't hear her He starts to whistle as he crosses the street She's embarrassed to be there
Oh, think twice, it's just another day for For you and me in paradise Oh, think twice, it's just another day For you, you and me in paradise Just think about it
She calls out to the man on the street He can see she's been cryin' She's got blisters on the soles of her feet She can't walk but she's tryin'
Oh, just think twice, it's just another day For you and me in paradise Oh, yes think twice, it's just another day For you, you and me in paradise Just think about it, just think about it
Oh Lord, is there nothing more anybody can do? Oh Lord, there must be something you can say
You can tell by the lines on her face You can see that she's been there Probably been moved on from every place 'Cause she didn't fit in there
Oh, yes think twice, it's just another day For you and me in paradise Oh, yes think twice, it's just another day For you, you and me in paradise Just think about it, just think about it
It's just another day For you and me in paradise It's just another day For you and me in paradise
It's just another day For you and me in paradise It's just another day For you and me in paradise
It's just another day For you and me It's another day For you and me
It's another day For you and me in paradise In paradise

Collins sings the song from a third-person perspective, as he observes a man ignoring a homeless woman, and he implores listeners not to turn a blind eye to homelessness because, by drawing a religious allusion, "it's just another day for you and me in paradise". Collins also appeals directly to God by singing: "Oh Lord, is there nothing more anybody can do? Oh Lord, there must be something you can say."
