"Poor Side Of Town," Inside Moves

Poor Side of Town
--words and music by J. Rivers / L. Adler

from "Inside Moves", 1984, MSB Records

Do-doo-doo-wah shoo-be-doo-be
Do-doo-doo-wah shoo-be-doo-be

How can you tell me how much you missed me
When the last time I saw you
   You wouldn't even kiss me
That rich guy you've been seein'
Oh he must have put you down
So welcome back baby
To the poor side of town

You know girl, to him you were nothin'
   but a little plaything
You were not much more than an overnight fling
To me you were the greatest thing oh that
   This boy'd ever found
It's so 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
Baby will you stand by me girl all the way now
And with you by my side
They just can't keep us down
Together we can make it baby
On the poor side of town

Hey with you by my side
They just can't keep us down
Together we can make it baby
On the poor side of town

Do-doo-doo-wah shoo-be-doo-be

to fade
