Poor Man’s Son Lyrics By Survivor

    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
    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

    repeat
    repeat
