Wrong Side Of Town

Bobby little lives on the other side of town

He's got a picture of a girl in a gown

He tells his daddy " someday youll see she will be with me "

His daddy tells him " son its just not right

Shes from money boy she's not your kind

Dont even call shell just turn you down

You'refrom the wrong side of town "

But every sunday after sunday school

Dressed in his finest hopin' she never knew

He'd walk her home then he'd say good-bye with tears in his eyes

She lives uptown in a big white house

He knows someday but he don't know how

Lord its not what he prefers he'll have to break the news to her

He's from the wrong side of town

He doesn't have money no he doesn't have have fortune or fame

And he doesn't understand why he has to live his life in shame

But he knows that he loves her can he make her see somehow

It shouldn't matter if he's from the wrong side of town

Next sunday its the same routin oh but this tiem hes wearin' his jeans

He thinks its teh last time he'll walk her home then he'll be alone

He takes her by the hand the truth he'll face

He knows in his heart she's gonna walk away but she takes him by surprise

She looks into his eyes and says " your from the wrong side of town "

Well i don't need money no i don't need fortune or fame

And i dont know why you have to live your life feeling ashamed

Dont you know that i love you well i hope you do by now

It doesn't matter if your from the wrong side of town

No it doesn't matter if your from the wrong side of town

Oh bobby little lives on the other side of town

She stands beside him in her wedding gown
