Poor Boy

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
