The Poor Side Of Town

The Poor Side Of Town - Johnny Rivers

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

Was a plaything doo wah

Not much more than

An overnight fling

Overnight fling doo wah

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

Without you without you

So tell me

Are you gonna stay now

Will you stay now doo wah

Will you stand by me girl

All the way now

All the way now doo wah

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
