JOHNNY RIVERS "POOR SIDE OF TOWN" Lyrics

Johnny Rivers Poor Side of Town Lyrics:
((Doop-doo-doo-wah, shoo-be-doo-be.))
((Doop-doo-doo-wah, shoo-be-doo-be.))

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 po' side of town.

To him you were nothin',
But a little plaything.
(Was a plaything, doo-wah.)
Not much more than,
An overnight fling.
(Overnight fling, doo-wah.)
To me you were the greatest thing,
This boy had ever found.
And, girl, it's hard to find nice things,
On the po' side of town.

I can't blame you for tryin'.
(Bah, bah, bah, bahh.)
I'm tryin' to make it too.
(Bah, bah, bah, bahh.)
I've got one little hang up, baby.
I just can't make it without you.
(Without you, ooo, without you.)

So, tell me,
Are you gonna stay now?
(Gonna stay now, doo-wah.)
Will you stand by me, girl,
All the way now?
(All the way now, doo-wah.)
With you by my side,
They can't keep us down.
Together we can make it, baby,
From the po' side of town.

(So tell me how much you love me.)
(Come be near to me and say you need me now.)

Oh, with you by my side,
This world can't keep us down.
Together we can make it baby,
From the po' side of town.

((Doop-doo-doo-wah, shoo-be-doo-be.))
((Doop-doo-doo-wah, shoo-be-doo-be.))
[Fade.]
((Doop-doo-doo-wah, shoo-be-doo-be.))
