Lyrics

Poor Song

Mmm, ch, Mmm mmm, ch, (x6) Baby I'm afraid of a lot of things But I ain't scared of lovin' you Baby I know you're afraid of a lot of things But don't be scared of love 'Cause people will say all kinds of things That don't mean a damn to me 'Cause all I see is what's in front of me And that's you Well, I've been dragged all over the place I've taken hits time just don't erase And baby I can see you've been fucked with too But that don't mean your lovin' days are through 'Cause people will say all kinds of things That don't mean a damn to me 'Cause all I see is what's in front of me And that's you Well I may be just a fool But I know you're just as cool And cool kids They belong together
