Bobby Little lives on the other side of town,
|
He's got a picture of a girl in a gown,
|
He tells his daddy," someday youll see, she will be with me."
|
His daddy tells him, " Son its just not right.
|
Shes from money boy, she's not your kind.
|
Dont even call, shell just turn you down.
|
You'refrom the wrong side of town."
|
|
But every Sunday after sunday school
|
Dressed in his finest hopin' she never knew.
|
He'd walk her home then he'd say good-bye with tears in his eyes,
|
She lives uptown in a big white house.
|
He knows someday but he don't know how.
|
Lord its not what he prefers, he'll have to break the news to her.
|
He's from the wrong side of town.
|
|
He doesn't have money, no he doesn't have have fortune or fame.
|
And he doesn't understand why he has to live his life in shame.
|
But he knows that he loves her, can he make her see somehow,
|
It shouldn't matter if he's from the wrong side of town.
|
|
Next Sunday its the same routin, oh but this tiem hes wearin' his jeans
|
He thinks its teh last time he'll walk her home, then he'll be alone.
|
He takes her by the hand the truth he'll face
|
He knows in his heart she's gonna walk away, but she takes him by surprise.
|
She looks into his eyes and says " Your from the wrong side of town."
|
|
Well I don't need money, no I don't need fortune or fame,
|
And I dont know why you have to live your life feeling ashamed.
|
Dont you know that I love you, well I hope you do by now,
|
It doesn't matter if your from the wrong side of town
|
No it doesn't matter if your from the wrong side of town
|
|
Oh Bobby Little lives on the other side of town,
|
She stands beside him in her wedding gown
