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