How can you tell me how much you miss menWhen the last time I saw you, you wouldn't even kiss menThat rich guy you've been seein'nMust have put you downnSo welcome back babynTo the poor side of townnnTo him you were nothin' but a little playthingnNot much more than an overnight flingnTo me you were the greatest thing this boy had ever foundnAnd girl it's hard to find nice thingsnOn the poor side of townnnI can't blame you for tryin'nI'm tryin' to make it toonI've got one little hang up babynI just can't make it without younnSo tell me, are you gonna stay nownWill you stand by me girl all the way nownWith you by my sidenThey can't keep us downnTogether we can make it babynFrom the poor side of townnn(So tell me how much you love me)n(Come be near to me and say you need me now)nnOh, with you by my sidenThis world can't keep us downnTogether we can make it babynFrom the poor side of town
