Poor You

from Here I'll Stay by Justin Hayford

/

lyrics

I'm sad for anybody walking about
Who's missed all the thrills I've been through
I'm sad for anybody who hasn't found out
Just what your caresses can do
And that's why I'm especially sad for you

Poor you
I'm sorry you're not me
Because you'll never know
What loving you can be

Poor you
You'll never know your charms
You'll never feel your warmth
You're never in your arms

When it is you I'm kissing
I pity you constantly
You don't know what you're missing
`Cause you're only kissing poor me

Poor you
You'll live your whole life through
And yet you'll never know
The thrill of loving you.

E. Y. Harburg, Burton Lane
