Well a poor boy's got one thing on a rich man, honey

He's got time to feel,

	he don't have to deal with all his money

So if you want me, ya gotta take me just the way that I am.

I'm a poor boy, my heart's on fire, I'm a travelin' man.



If you wanna be lonely,

Sleepin in bed with all your diamond rings

Go ahead and find someone

With a heart as cold as stone

But don't come a knockin' when you wake up all alone



Because a poor boy's got one thing on a rich man, honey

He don't have to pretend,

	he's got the world to win with all his money

So if you want me, ya gotta take me just the way that I am.

I'm a poor boy, my heart's on fire, I'm a travelin' man...



If you wanna be lonely,

Sleepin in bed with all your diamond rings

Go ahead and find someone

With a heart as cold as stone

But don't come a knockin' when you wake up all alone



Because a poor boy's got one thing on a rich man, honey

He knows the gift of love

	is a bundle above a whole mountain of money

So if you want me, ya gotta take me just the way that I am.

I'm a poor boy, my heart's on fire, I'm not a candy stand...
