Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Poor me, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Poor me, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Sorry thoughts leaping around my head
It's been heard and it's been said that
[Verse 2]
You tried to date another guy
Didn't hide, didn't even try
Cheating me with lies again
Making me remember when
[Verse 3]
I used to hold you, baby
So tight each night, that's right
I kinda hope that maybe you might
Fall for me
[Verse 4]
Why, oh, why do voices say to me
"Sit and cry," that this was meant to be?
Love's unkind and love's untrue
Oh, why did love pick out you for me?
Poor me
Uh-huh, poor me
Poor me
[Verse 5]
I used to hold you, baby
So tight each night, that's right
I kinda hope that maybe you might
Fall for me
[Verse 6]
Oh, why, oh, why do voices say to me
"Sit and cry," that this was meant to be?
Love's unkind and love's untrue
Oh, why did love pick out you for me?
Poor me
Uh-huh, poor me
Poor me
