Lyrics Roy Orbison

Roy Orbison

Poor Baby

Glittery eyes; witchy smiles

A good time is all you are after

Skin tight thighs; little white lies

Put you in the center of the laughter

But your reign of queen is over

Your fortress has been broken down

You're still the center of the laughter

But your role has changed to the clown

Ooh poor baby

Someone broke your heart in two

Ooh poor baby

Who would have thought it could happen to you

Poor baby

A pretty face; sweet talkin' ways

Got you a part of the action

A come-over-touch, glances and such

You always had to be the main attraction

Now you're the one who's crying

You lost at your own lonely game

You're still the center of attraction

But now I'm gone, you've got yourself to blame

Ooh poor baby

Someone broke your heart in two

Ooh poor baby

Who would have thought it could happen to you

Poor baby

Ooh poor baby

Someone broke your heart in two

Ooh poor baby

You let someone get much too close to you

Poor baby

Poor baby, poor baby

Poor baby, poor baby
