How can you tell me how much you miss me When the last time I saw you, you wouldn't even kiss me The rich guy you're seein' must have put you down So welcome back, baby, to the poor side of town To him you ain't nothin' but a play-thing Not much more than an overnight-thing To me you're the greatest that I've ever found And 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 true I got one kind of... I can't make it without you So tell me, are you gonna stay now? Would you stand by me, all the way now? With you by my side, they can't keep us down Together we can make it from the poor side of town Together we can make it from the poor side of town So welcome back, baby, to the poor side of town
