Take Good Care of the Poor Boy

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You've got lots to say, don't take this too seriously (There's plenty of believers) We hang on every word, almost deliriously (Yes, we're the believers) You could say it's borderline fanatic Hit the chord, we're basically ecstatic Can't afford to lose you, can't you see? [Chorus] Take good care of the poor boy Oh, well, he's new in town and he won't settle down Take good care of the poor boy Oh, well, he's new in town and he won't settle down [Verse 2] You won't sit around waiting for it to happen to you (There's plenty who will listen) If you hide yourself away, your country may honour you (A brighter future glistens) Pulled alarm shows of mere defiance Draw the looks, don't choose this reliance Crown of our creation, we're on our knees, Lord [Chorus] Take good care of the poor boy Oh, well, he's new in town and he won't settle down Take good care of the poor boy Oh, well, he's new in town and he won't settle down Good luck saving the the poor boy Oh, when the city's down, and he's gone underground [Bridge] Ooh, if you leave us behind Your songs they will stand for all time And ooh, if you leave us behind (yeah!) There'll be streets with your name on the sign (yeah) And oh, Lord [Chorus] Take good care of the poor boy Oh, well, he's new in town and he won't settle down Take good care of the poor boy Oh, well, he's new in town and he won't settle down [Outro] Hey poor boy, hey poor boy, he'll never settle down (Never settle down) Hey poor boy, hey poor boy, he'll never settle down (Never settle down) Hey poor boy, hey poor boy, he'll never settle down (Never settle down) Hey poor boy, hey poor boy, he'll never settle down (Never settle down) Ah...
