Well, i'm just a poor boy
Wandering through
There's holes in my pockets

There's rocks in my shoes

I've nothing to give you

Nothing to lend
As long as you live, though
You've got you a friend


[chorus]
Ooh, baby

Poor boy's love is a sweet thing
Ooh, baby
Poor boy's life is a free thing


Well, yes, i'm a poor boy
Poor boy indeed

But i don't want nothing
I got what i need


All of my loving
Is all i can give
Living to love you

I'm loving to live

[repeat chorus x2]


Now if you feel lazy
And down in your mind

Don't you get crazy
I'll make you feel fine


Just look for the magic
Your dreams will come true
'cause i got the power

And you got it too

[repeat chorus x2]
