It wont work poor boy dont you try again
Fate took away your love and you cant win
You can sing the blues all to yourself
But while you're singing shes with someone else
Poor boy,
While you're singing shes with someone else

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

Poor boy Im sorry youre so blue
But dont forget, theres more than one of you
Poor boy Im sorry youre so sad
But time will heal the pain wont be so bad
Poor boy
Time will heal the pain wont be so bad

Lets forget the poor boy and lets ride alright
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
Poor boy
Poor boy We'll be rich men after all
