Robert

[Verse 1]

Robert's appearance is something to behold

Dressed in the finest of store bought clothes

My mamma sews my clothes because I'm just a poor girl

But Robert is as real as his daddies gold

Robert could have any girl that he wanted

But his feelings for me each day seems to grow

He don't know the reason, that he's so drawn to me

But there is a story that Robert doesn't know

[Chorus]

Oh Robert

Oh Robert

[Verse 2]

Robert is constantly making eyes at me

He misunderstands the feelings we share

There's no way that I can return his glances

But I know the meaning of the feeling that's there

Robert if you knew, there once was a rich boy

In love with a poor girl, long time ago

But the folks of that rich boy, would not let them marry

And I am a symbol of the love that they stole

[Chorus]

Oh Robert

Oh Robert

[Verse 3]

Robert, oh Robert if you only knew

The same blood is flowing in both me and you

That rich boy's your father, but he's also mine

And my mamma's the poor girl that he left behind

[Chorus]

Oh Robert

Oh Robert
