letra de i told you i was poor - skeleton staff

Loading...

[intro]
she just appeared one afternoon
this babe of wealth and breeding who had sucked the chrome from off a silver spoon
could i (give her the life)
she’d been used to (poor piteous fool)

i never asked her to
i never wanted to
she just rolled in
like i was poland back in world war ii

she made her estimate
she didn’t hesitate
to take my hard-earned scratch
and splash it around the town

i told her from the beginning
that there weren’t enough to go ’round!

[verse]
yeah

oh, don’t you want me to
appear the best for you
i simply can’t walk through
double bay in these old shoes

now there’s a bag to match
and there’s the gloves and hat
and baby this platinum bracelet
goes so well with that

i’m sure you’ll agree
how good this looks on me
i simply can’t leave without buying this bi-kini

when i step outside
this changing room you’ll see

her father cut
her credit line
but that won’t stop her from spending all of mine

i might be soft
i might be weak
but i can’t get a word in
every time i try to speak

[chorus]
i told you i was poor
i told you i was poor
but now my pocket’s empty you don’t want me anymore

and how was i to know
that i’d been taken by a pro
who had the meter
always running over time

now my wallet’s spent
you’ve got your fingers
on the next one in line

[verse 2]
and if you deal for me
i’m gonna deal for you
i might just get you backstage entry
when we see u2

the seats are in demand
so come on pay the man
i heard the tickets for the skybox only cost two grand

i know some things
from book learnings
but i can’t manage these
bl–dy purse strings

i make a fuss
but don’t earn much
i certainly can’t finance no society sl-t

[chorus]
i told you i was poor
i told you i was poor
but now my pocket’s empty you don’t want me anymore

and how was i to know
i’d gone and hooked up with a
pro who had the meter
always running over time

now my wallet’s spent
you’ve got your fingers
on the next one in line

[outro]
(poor) i told you i was poor
(poor) i told you i was poor
but now my pocket’s empty you don’t want me anymore

and how was i to know
that i’d been taken by a pro
who had the meter
always running over time

and now my wallet’s spent
you’ve got your fingers
on the next one in line

but now that she’s gone
i can’t help thinking of her
all of the time
