Poor Boy

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I know that he's offered you Diamonds and pearls And I know that he's promised you Anything in the world If you'll be his girl I can't give you any of these things But I can give you my love (Poor boy) Stronger than a baseball hit-a-run And stronger than it's worth [Hook] Poor boy [Verse 2] I know that he's told you He'd make all your dreams come true And I know that he's promised His love would always be true He's lying, and I'm crying 'Cause my poor heart's dying For you (Poor boy) 'Cause he's a rich man And I'm a poor boy losing my mind over you [Hook] Poor boy [Verse 3] I know that he's a fancy guy With a big car all of his own I know he wears a gold ring or the satin And he claims that he's a man And although I'm a poor boy With one pair of old brown shoes (Poor boy) I know that it's not the clothеs that a man wears That make the diffеrence in which one of us you choose And if you think that we're too young Then I'm not for you You better wait a year or two, girl And find somebody new A love like ours hard to find So don't let the people change your mind 'Cause you were meant to be An important part of me [Verse 4] I know that he's offered you Diamonds and pearls And I know that he's promised you Anything in the world If you'll be his girl I can't give you any of these things But I can give you my love (Poor boy) Stronger than a baseball hit-a-run And stronger than it's worth And if you think that we're too young Then I'm not for you You better wait a year or two, girl And find somebody new A love like ours hard to find So don't let the people change your mind 'Cause you were meant to be An important part of me [Verse 5] I know that he's a fancy guy With a big car all of his own I know he wears a gold ring or the satin And he claims that he's a man And although I'm a poor boy With one pair of old brown shoes (Poor boy) I know that it's not the clothes that a man wears That make the difference in which one of us you choose [Outro] Poor boy, poor boy Oh, poor, boor boy Poor boy, poor boy that I am I'm just a poor boy, all alone All alone and blue Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo (Poor boy)
