Poor Side of Town

How can you tell me that you've missed me

When the last time I saw you, you wouldn't even kiss me?

That rich guy you've been seein' must have put you down

A-welcome back, baby, to the poor side of town

To him, you were nothing but a little plaything

Not much more than an overnight fling

But to me, you were the greatest thing this boy ever found

So welcome back, baby, to the poor side of town

Say you're tryna make it, well

I'm tryna make it too

I just got one lil' hangup, you see

I can't make it without you

Oh, no, no, no, no

So tell me now, are you gonna stay now?

Stand by me all the way

Girl, with God on our side

Nothing can keep us down

Welcome back, baby, to the poor side of town

Yeah

With God on our side

Nothing can keep us down

Together we gonna make it

On this poor side of town, yeah

Hey, gonna make it, baby

Believe me
