In 2 Poor Kids, Ruth B details a perfect relationship in her eyes and in the eyes of her true love. Even though others perceive it as “a shame” and “a pity”, they’re content to be two poor kids in love, regardless of other’s feelings towards their relationship.
[Verse 1]
I don't want no time on the big screen
I'm okay with me and my ripped jeans
And you... And you...
Messy hair, that's what he likes on me
I don't care as long as we're happy
And free to be just you and me
And free to be just you and me
[Pre-Chorus]
They think it's a shame
That the world that the world will never know our names
But I think that's okay
Cause love gets ruined by money and power and fame
And we're just
[Chorus]
Two poor kids from a really rich city
My oh my what a pity
Cause we've got a love story unlike the rest
No fancy suit and no fancy dress
Just us, just us, just love, just love
Just us, just us, just love, just love
[Verse 2]
He picks her up in a Benz but
My lover comes by himself and a dozen roses
He probably stole them
He's got a smudge of mud on his eye
It makes me break into smile
Cause he drives them mad
Oh he drives them mad cause
[Pre-Chorus]
They think it's a shame
That the world that the world will never know our names
But I think that's okay
Cause love gets ruined by money and power and fame
And we're just
[Chorus]
We're just two poor kids from a really rich city
My oh my what a pity
Cause we've got a love story unlike the rest
No fancy suit and no fancy dress
Just us, just us, just love, just love
Just us, just us, just love, just love
[Bridge]
Dollar signs all around us
We sneak on to the city bus
Too blinded by what we have
To noticed your mean old laughs
Dollar signs on all around us
We sneak on to the city bus
Too blinded by what we have
To noticed your mean old laughs
[Pre-Chorus]
They think it's a shame that the world that the world will never know our names
But I think that's okay cause love gets ruined by money and power and fame and we're just
Chorus
Two poor kids from a really rich city
My oh my what a pity
Cause we've got a love story unlike the rest
No fancy suit and no fancy dress
Just us, just us, just love, just love
Just us, just us, just love, just love
