Johnny Rivers - Poor Side Of Town lyrics

Your rating:

Do-doo-doo-wah shoo-be-doo-be

 How can you tell me how much you miss me
 When the last time I saw you, you wouldn't even kiss me
 That rich guy you've been seein'
 Must have put you down
 So welcome back baby
 To the poor side of town

 To him you were nothin' but a little plaything
 Not much more than an overnight fling
 To me you were the greatest thing this boy had ever found
 And girl it's hard to find nice things
 On the poor side of town

 I can't blame you for tryin'
 I'm tryin' to make it too
 I've got one little hang up baby
 I just can't make it without you

 So tell me, are you gonna stay now
 Will you stand by me girl all the way now
 With you by my side
 They can't keep us down
 Together we can make it baby
 From the poor side of town

 (So tell me how much you love me)
 (Come be near to me and say you need me now)

 Oh, with you by my side
 This world can't keep us down
 Together we can make it baby
 From the poor side of town

 Do-doo-doo-wah shoo-be-doo-be
 Do-doo-doo-wah shoo-be-doo-be
 Do-doo-doo-wah shoo-be-doo-be
