When i get into the game

But it’s always the same

I’m the man with the name

Hip eponymous poor boy,

Poor boy

Call me whatever you may

I ain’t stopping the train

I got a feel for the fame

Hip eponymous poor boy,

Poor boy

And i know that i can’t defeat you

Yeah but you go and worry now

I ain’t gonna preach to you

Well there go but i’ll be going right there with you

Yeah where every you be

You’ll be looking at me

But don’t get out of your shell

Put a bow in your hair

You might be making them stare

So leave the care to the poor boy,

The poor boy

And that’s the name of the game

Keep on staying the same

Ain’t nobody to blame

Nobody but the poor boy,

The poor boy

Well okay, so you better sleep today

Whats funny to me though

Is that you did that yesterday

You might think i’m mad

Doing all the things that i don’t need to do

But while you’re laughing at me

Well i’ll be laughing at you

So i get into the game but always keep it the same

And i’ll be using your name

But they’ll be yelling at me

Poor boy, poor boy

But i’ll be happy for you because you’ve got nothing to do

And i’ll be singing the blues

Walking around singing poor boy,

Poor boy

Sometimes a cold shiver comes over me

And it turns me on

When the song takes over me

But alright, i can’t fight if the odds are against me

But i can’t sit still because i know that i will

And you’ll be watching me girl

Taking over the world let the stripes unfurl

Getting rich singing poor boy,

Poor boy

And i’ll be coming to play i do it every day

And the title will stay

Hip eponymous poor boy, poor boy
