Joe Bataan – Poor Boy

Joe Bataan – Poor Boy Lyrics

Artist: Joe Bataan
Song: 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’ll 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-a-run

And stronger than it’s worth
Poor boy
I know that he’s told you
He’d make all your dreams come true

And I know that he’s promised
His love would always be true
He’s lying, and I’m crying
’cause my poor heart’s dying

For you (Poor boy)
’cause he’s a rich man
And I’m a poor boy losing my mind over you
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 or the satin
And he claims that he’s a man

And although I’m a poor boy
With one pair of old brown shoes (Poor boy)
I know that it’s not the clothes that a man wears
That make the difference in which one of us you 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 hard to find
So don’t let the people change your mind
’cause 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’ll 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-a-run

And stronger than it’s worth
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 hard to find
So don’t let the people change your mind
’cause 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 or the satin

And he claims that he’s a man
And although I’m a poor boy
With one pair of old brown shoes (Poor boy)
I know that it’s not the clothes that a man wears

That make the difference in which one of us you choose
Poor boy, poor boy
Oh, poor, boor boy
Poor boy, poor boy that I am

I’m just a poor boy, all alone
All alone and blue
Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo (Poor boy)
