Poor Side Of Town Lyrics - Eels

Do-doo-doo-wah, shoo-be-doo-be 

Do-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 poor side of town 

To him you were nothin' but a little plaything 

Not much more than an overnight fling 

To me you were the greatest thing this boy had ever found 

And girl, it's hard to find nice things on the poor side of town

I can't blame you for tryin' 

I'm tryin' to make it too 

I've got one little hang up, baby 

I just can't make it without you 

So tell me, are you gonna stay now? 

Will 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

So tell me how much you love me? 

Come 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 poor side of town
