Poor me wa a ha a ho Poor me wa a ha a ho Sorry thoughts leaping around my head It's been heard and it's been said That You tried to date another guy Didn't hide, didn't even try Cheating me with lies again Making me remember when I used to hold you baby So tight, each night, that's right I kinda hoped that maybe you might Fall for me Why oh why do voices say to me Sit and cry, that this was meant to be Loves unkind and loves untrue Oh why did love pick out you For me, for me Wa ha poor me Poor me I used to hold you baby So tight, each night, that's right I kinda hoped that maybe you might Fall for me Why oh why do voices say to me Sit and cry, that this was meant to be Loves unkind and loves untrue Oh why did love pick out you For me, for me Wa ha poor me Poor me
