How can you tell me how much you miss me 
E7M                          F#m7 
When the last time I saw you      you wouldn't even kiss me 
A                      G#m7 
That rich guy you been seein' 
F#m7               A 
Must have put you down 
    E                  A 
So welcome back, baby 
                     E 
To the poor side of town 
       
To him you were nothing but a little plaything (little plaything, doo-wah) 

Not much more than an overnight fling (overnight fling, doo-wah) 

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 
 

D                     G7M 
I can't blame you for tryin' 
C              Bm 
I'm tryin' to make it too 
C                    Bm 
I've got one little hangup, baby 
Am                        G                     B                E7M 
I just can't make it without you (without you, ooh, without you, aaaah) 

So tell me, are you gonna stay now (gonna stay now, doo-wah) 
Will you stand by me  all the way now (all the way now, doo-wah) 
With you by my side 
They can't keep us down 
Together we can make it, baby 
From the poor side of town 
 
So tell me how much you love me 
Come near to me and say you need me now 
Oh, with you by my side 
This world can't keep us down 
Together we can make it, baby 
From the poor side of town
