EN
Baby, if you really love me You had better understand That the silver in your pocket Ain't no measure of a man And though the fortunes of our fathers We aspire to rise above When you're born into a breed You're signed in blood I'm a poor mans son Workin' all night long Got a bad guitar And a simple song You're a rich mans daughter Look at what you've done You went and fell in love With a poor mans son Baby, you were born in splendor To a house of wealth and fame Your mother was a spender And you grew up on a stage And, girl, you coulda loved for money Coulda fooled around for fame You went and took a chance On the real thing And though the fortunes of our fathers We aspire to rise above When you're born into a breed You're signed in blood I'm a poor mans son Workin' all night long Got a bad guitar And a simple song You're a rich mans daughter Look at what you've done You went and fell in love With a poor mans son
