POOR SIDE OF TOWN (+E)

Doo-do-do-do-wah, shoobee-doobee


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 been seein'

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 game

To me you are the greatest thing

This boy had ever found

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 hangup, baby

I just can't make it without you


So tell me, are you gonna stay now

Will you stand by me, 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 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


(Johnny Rivers - Lou Adler)
