Lyrics
Ain't got no food in the oven
Ain't got no cash in the bank
Ain't got no kissin or huggin
All I got is an empty tank
And it's runnin low on the city
The walls are thick and the sky is high
And I'm tired of sittin pretty
Just holding up my welcome sign that says that I'm
Poor tonight.
I'm poor but I'm sure that I'm worth something more
Worth something more
The something that I need to find
So I can't go out with you tonight baby
I can't even spend a dime
So I'll see you around maybe
Or else I just stay inside
Cause I'm losin time in the city
The hours go by slow but the life is quick
And I'm tired of sittin pretty
As I listen to the clock tick and tell me I'm
Poor tonight
I'm poor but I'm sure that I'm worth something more
Worth something more
The something that I need to find
