Poor Boy

[Verse 1]
I know that he's offered you
Diamonds and pearls
And I know that he's promised you
Anything in the world
If you'll be his girl
I can't give you any of these things
But I can give you my love (Poor boy)
Stronger than a baseball hit-a-run
And stronger than it's worth

[Hook]
Poor boy

[Verse 2]
I know that he's told you
He'd make all your dreams come true
And I know that he's promised
His love would always be true
He's lying, and I'm crying
'Cause my poor heart's dying
For you (Poor boy)
'Cause he's a rich man
And I'm a poor boy losing my mind over you

[Hook]
Poor boy

[Verse 3]
I know that he's a fancy guy
With a big car all of his own
I know he wears a gold ring or the satin
And he claims that he's a man
And although I'm a poor boy
With one pair of old brown shoes (Poor boy)
I know that it's not the clothеs that a man wears
That make the diffеrence in which one of us you choose
And if you think that we're too young
Then I'm not for you
You better wait a year or two, girl
And find somebody new
A love like ours hard to find
So don't let the people change your mind
'Cause you were meant to be
An important part of me

[Verse 4]
I know that he's offered you
Diamonds and pearls
And I know that he's promised you
Anything in the world
If you'll be his girl
I can't give you any of these things
But I can give you my love (Poor boy)
Stronger than a baseball hit-a-run
And stronger than it's worth
And if you think that we're too young
Then I'm not for you
You better wait a year or two, girl
And find somebody new
A love like ours hard to find
So don't let the people change your mind
'Cause you were meant to be
An important part of me

[Verse 5]
I know that he's a fancy guy
With a big car all of his own
I know he wears a gold ring or the satin
And he claims that he's a man
And although I'm a poor boy
With one pair of old brown shoes (Poor boy)
I know that it's not the clothes that a man wears
That make the difference in which one of us you choose

[Outro]
Poor boy, poor boy
Oh, poor, boor boy
Poor boy, poor boy that I am
I'm just a poor boy, all alone
All alone and blue
Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo (Poor boy)
