Expensive being poor
And the car is of the road
But I never had a car
But I pay more for food
But the supermarkets too far
Itґs expensive being poor
Because everything cost more,
Knocking on a closing door,
Itґs expensive being poor,
Someone throw me down some crumbs
I will eat them off the floor,
Itґs expensive being poor
But I look good when I get desperate.
And the box is on the fritz,
Itґs a black and white, or was,
I tried taking it to bits
Now the pictureґs just a grey fuss.
Itґs expensive being poor
Because everything cost more,
Someone pick me off the floor,
Itґs expensive being poor,
How can I live with what I did
When the cinema is 6 quid?
Itґs expensive being poor
But I look good when I get desperate.
