Poor Side Of Town Lyrics

Poor Side of Town
Johnny Rivers
(J. Rivers / L.
Adler)

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
