Roy Orbison Poor Baby lyrics

Glittery eyes, witchy smiles
A good time is all you were after
Skin tight thighs, little, white lies
Put you in the center of the laughter

But your reign of queen is over
Your fortress has been broken down
You're still the center of the laughter
But your role has changed to the clown

Ooh, poor baby, someone broke your heart in two
Ooh, poor baby
Who would have thought it could happen to you?
Poor baby


A pretty face, sweet talking ways, got you a part of the action
A come-over-touch, glances and such
You always had to be the main attraction

Now you're the one who's crying
You lost at your own lonely game
You're still the center of attraction
But now I'm gone, you've got yourself to blame

Ooh, poor baby, someone broke your heart in two
Ooh, poor baby, you let someone get much too close to you
Poor baby, poor baby, poor baby, poor baby, poor baby
