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
