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 seeing
Must have put you down
So welcome back, baby
To the poor side of town
To him you were nothing but a play thing
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 trying
I'm trying to make it, too
I've got one little hang-up, baby
I just can't make it without you
So tell, are you gonna stay now?
Will you stand by me, girl, all the way now?
With you by my side, girl, they can't keep us down
And together we can make it, baby
From the poor side of town
Together we can make it, baby
From the poor side of town
