E5                     F#5
Doo-do-do-wah, shoobee-doobee 
E5                     F#5 
Doo-do-do-wah, shoobee-doobee 


E5                               F#5 
How can you tell me how much you miss me 
E5                          F#5 
When the last time I saw you      you wouldn't even kiss me 
A5                      G#5 
That rich guy you been seein' 
F#5               A5 
Must have put you down 
    E5                  A5 
So welcome back, baby 
                     E5 
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 
 

D5                     G5 
I can't blame you for tryin' 
C5              B5 
I'm tryin' to make it too 
C5                    B5 
I've got one little hangup, baby 
A5                        G5                     B5                E5 
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
