The Poor Side Of Town

The Poor Side Of Town - Johnny Rivers

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 seeing

Must have put you down

So welcome back baby

To the poor side of town

To him you were nothing 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 trying

I'm trying 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
