Poor boy it's a pity
Lost in the heart of the city
Right or wrong
It's not for you to say

Hanging out on the corner
Longing to be a bit warmer
Lying in the arms of a girl
That you left far away

Don't worry about it
Maybe in time when you get it together
She's gonna be there in kinds of weather
Get yourself up
Don't waste it feelin' blue

Poor boy, she'll wait for you
She's gonna wait for you
Poor boy

Poor boy it's a wonder
How did you ever get yourself out from under?
All the things
That they try to drag you down

You know lady luck she's a chooser
And maybe she'll make you a loser
That's a chance, poor boy
You took when you came to town

Now don't you worry about it
Maybe in time when you get it together
She's gonna be there in kinds of weather
Get yourself up
Don't waste it feelin' blue

Poor boy, she'll wait for you
She's gonna wait for you
Poor boy

Now you can be a rich man but it doesn't matter
Nothing's waiting for you it at the top ladder
Without love
Love

Poor boy it's a pity
Lost in the heart of the city
Right or wrong
It's not for you to say

Hanging out on the corner
Longing to be a bit warmer
Lying in the arms of a girl
That you left far away

Don't worry about it
Maybe in time when you get it together
She's gonna be there in kinds of weather
Get yourself up
Don't waste it feelin' blue

Poor boy, she'll wait for you
She's gonna wait for you
Poor boy

She's gonna wait for you
Poor boy
She'll love you
She'll love you
She'll love you
She'll love you
She'll love you
She'll love you
She'll love you
She'll love you
She'll love you
She'll love you
She'll love you
She'll love you
She'll love you
She'll love you
