Doo..do..do..do..wah.....shoo..bee..doo..bee.  
                                    
Doo..do..do..do..wah.....shoo..bee..doo..bee.  
  
#1. 
                                 
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. 
#2.  
                                     
To him you were nothing 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. 
  
CHORUS:  
                                                   
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. 
#3.  
                          
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. 
#4. 
                        
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.
