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've been seein' must have put you down So welcome back, baby, to the poor side of town To him you were nothin' but a play-thing Not much more than an overnight fling To me you were the greatest this boy had ever found And god 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 hang up, baby I just can't make it without you So tell me, are you gonna stay now? Would you stand by me, girl, 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 Together we can make it baby, from the poor side of town
