Poor you, I'm sorry you're not
me, for you will 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 live your whole
life through,
And yet you'll never know the
thrill of loving you.
