Rich and the Poor
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They walked hand in hand to a future unknown
He carried the water in blankets he brought
So far past the curfew and they were alone
Her teeth bound by braces, and his teeth were not
Rich and the poor, that's how people get pain
She said I'm gonna show you how babies are made
Oh ohohohohoooooh
Oh ohohohohoooooh
Oh oh oh oh oh
So into the darkness the rushes & leaves
They walked to the lake side, the moon hanging high
She showed him such sweet things, he could not believe
He would not forget for the rest of his life
Rich and the poor, that's how people get pain
She said I'm gonna show you how babies are made
Rich and the poor, that's how people get pain
She said I'm gonna show you how babies are made
Oh ohohohohoooooh
Oh ohohohohoooooh
Oh oh oh oh oh
What's a boy to do when he wants what he can't understand
And she's a big girl and he knows he's in capable hands
And she took his hand and showed him what people ignore
She took his hand and showed him what bodies are for
Rich and the poor, that's how people get pain
She said I'm gonna show you how babies are made
Rich and the poor, the people get pain
Said I'm gonna show you how babies are made
Oh ohohohohoooooh
Oh ohohohohoooooh
Oh oh oh oh oh
