Poor Boy

(album: 21 Today - 1961)

It won't work poor boy, don't you try again
Fate took over your love and you can't win
You can sing the blues all to yourself
But while you're singing, she's with someone else, poor boy,
While you're singing, she's with someone else

Love is strange but, poor boy, it has to be
In more than a hundred ways you're just like me
You and I can try to face the foe
But we both know they won't be back no more, oh poor boy
We both know they won't be back no more

Poor boy I'm sorry you're so blue
But don't forget there's more than one of you
Poor boy I'm sorry you're so sad
But time will heal, the pain won't be so bad, poor boy,
Time will heal, the pain won't be so bad

Let's forget the poor boy and let's dry our eyes
Bad luck can be good luck in disguise
Some day new love may come to call
Poor boy, we'll be rich men after all, oh poor boy
Poor boy, we'll be rich men after all
