Eels Lyrics
Poor Side Of Town
How can you tell me how much you miss me
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 fling
To me you're the greatest thing this boy had ever found
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 got one little hangup, baby
I 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, girl, 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
