I know that he's offered you
Diamonds and Pearls
And I know that he's promised you
Anything in the world if you'd be his girl
I can't give you any of these things
But I can give you my love (Poor Boy!)
Stronger than a baseball, hit and run
and stronger than his words
Poor Boy
I know that he's told you
He'll make all your dreams come true
And I know that he's promised you
His love would always be true
He's lying and I'm crying
Cos my poor heart's dying (Poor Boy!)
Cos he's a rich man
And I'm a poor boy
Poor Boy
I know that he's a fancy guy
With a big car all of his own
I know he wears a gold ring on his hand
And he claims that he's not
And although I'm a poor boy
With one pair of old brown shoes (Poor Boy!)
I know its not the clothes that a man wears
that makes a difference in which one of us you'll choose
And if you think that we're too young
Then I'm not for you
You better wait a year or two, girl
And find somebody new
A love like ours is hard to find
so don't let the people change your mind
Cos you were meant to be
an important part of me
I know that he's offered you
Diamonds and Pearls
And I know that he's promised you
Anything in the world if you'd be his girl
I can't give you any of these things
But I can give you my love (Poor Boy!)
Stronger than a baseball, hit and run
and Stronger than his words
And if you think that we're too young
Then I'm not for you
You better wait a year or two, girl
And find somebody new
A love like ours is hard to find
so don't let the people change your mind
Cos you were meant to be
an important part of me
I know that he's a fancy guy
With a big car all of his own
I know he wears a gold ring on his hand
And he claims that he's not
And although I'm a poor boy
With one pair of old brown shoes (Poor Boy!)
I know its not the clothes that a man wears
that makes a difference in which one of us you'll choose
Poor Boy (x5)
I'm just a poor boy
