Eels Poor Side of Town song lyrics

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

Do-doo-doo-wah, shoo-be-doo-be

Do-doo-doo-wah, shoo-be-doo-be

Do-doo-doo-wah, shoo-be-doo-be
