It won't work poor boy, don't you try again
Fate tookover your love and you can't win
You can sing the blues all to yourself
But while you're singing
She's with someone else, poor boy
While you're singing she's 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 four
But we both know they won't be back no more
We both know they won't be back no more

Poor boy, I'm sorry you're so blue
But don't forget there's more than one of you
Poor boy, I'm sorry, you're so sad
But time will heal the pain won't be so bad, poor boy
Time will heal the pain won't be so bad

Let's forget it, poor boy and let's ride alright
Bad luck can be good luck in disguise
Someday 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.
