Poor Boy
Lawrence Taylor Lyrics

Would you still love me if I was a poor boy?
If I don't have any wealth or material things to give to you, would you still love me?

If all I had to give to you is me
If the only thing I have to offer you is myself, would you still accept me?

Would you still open up all your doors for me?
If I'm not rich or famous, would you still give me access to all aspects of your life?

Would you treat me differently?
If I was a poor boy, would you treat me differently than if I was rich or successful?

Would you still fuck me if I was a poor boy?
If I was poor, would you still have sex with me?

Give me what I want so easily
Would you fulfill my desires effortlessly, even if I don't have wealth or success?

When the show is over, will I still be your boy?
After the glamour and success fades away, would you still love and support me?

Yeah, will you tell your friends about me?
Would you be proud of me and share my achievements with others, regardless of my financial status?

'Cause everybody's coming 'round Coming 'round, head up in the clouds Saying I can't live without them Oh, who can I, who can I, who can I trust? I'm just trying to not get burned
People come and go, claiming they can't live without me. But it's hard to know who to trust, and I'm just trying to avoid getting hurt.

Maybe that the reason why I'm so cold, baby Yeah, I'm just tryna save my soul, baby Oh, but when the rain comes down Will you stand in it with me, girl, out on our own?
Maybe I seem distant because I'm trying to protect myself, but if things get tough, would you still stand by me and face it together?

Poor boy (Maybe that the reason why I'm cold) Poor boy (Maybe that the reason why I'm cold) Poor boy (Maybe that the reason why I'm cold)
Repeating that being a poor boy may be the reason why I'm cold or distant.

Pledge all your allegiances to me
Would you give me your loyalty and devotion?

Would you still wanna hold the keys to my heart?
If I was poor, would you still want to have complete access to my feelings and emotions?

Give all your attention to me, yeah
Would you still give me your undivided attention even though I'm not wealthy or successful?

'Cause all my life, yeah, I've been a poor boy You've only scratched the surface of me In the end, I'll always be a poor boy 'Cause nothing in this life comes for free And maybe that the reason why I'm cold Maybe that the reason why I'm cold Maybe that the reason why I'm cold, so cold
I've been poor all my life and if I remain that way, then maybe that's why I seem distant or unapproachable. Nothing in life is free, and maybe that's why I am the way I am.

Maybe that the reason why I'm cold, baby (So cold) Yeah, I'm just tryna save my soul, baby (So cold, baby) Oh, but when the rain comes down Will you stand in it with me, girl, out in it?
Maybe the reason why I seem cold is because I'm trying to protect myself. But if things get tough, would you still stand by me and face it together?

I'm just a poor boy (Maybe that the reason why I'm cold) Poor boy (Maybe that the reason why I'm cold) Poor boy (Maybe that the reason why I'm cold)
Repeating that being a poor boy may be the reason why I'm cold or distant.
