Poor Side Of Town

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 (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
