How can you tell me that you miss me
When the last time I saw you, you wouldn’t even kiss me?
That rich guy you’ve been seeing
Well, he must have put you down
So, welcome back, baby
To the poor side of town
To him, you were nothing but a plaything
Nothing more than an overnight fling
To me, you were the greatest
The greatest thing I had ever found
And it’s hard to find nice things
On the poor side of town
I can’t blame you for trying
I’m trying to make it too
I got one little problem
I can’t make it without you
So tell me, baby
Will you think you’ll stay now?
You know I’d stand by you all the way now
Side-by-side, darlin’
No one could ever keep us down
Together we could make it, baby
From the poor side of town
Together we can make it
From the poor side of town
