Jack White - Hip (Eponymous) Poor Boy lyrics

rate me

Well I get into the game, but it's always the same

I'm the man with the name, Hip Eponymous Poor Boy, boy

Call me whatever you may, I ain't stoppin' the train

I got a ? full of ?, Hip Eponymous Poor Boy, boy

And I know that I can't defeat you

Yea, you don't worry now, I ain't going to preach to you

Well, there ya go

But I'll be going right there with you

Yeah wherever you'll be, you'll be lookin' at me

But don't get out of your chair

Put a bow in your hair, you might be makin' 'em stare

So leave the care to the poor boy, the boy

And that's the name of the game

Keep on stayin' the same, ain't nobody to blame

Nobody but the poor boy, the poor boy

Well okay, so you fell asleep today

What's funny to me though is that you did that yesterday

You might think I'm mad

To do all the things that I don't need to do

But while you're laughin' at me, well I'll be laughin' at you

So I get into the game, but always keep it the same

And I'll be usin' your name, but they'll be yellin' at me "Poor boy, boy"

But I'll be happy for you, cause you got nothin' to do

And I'll be singin' the blues, walkin' around singin' "Poor boy, boy"

Sometimes a cold shiver comes over me

And it turns me on when the song takes over me

But alright, I can't fight it the odds are against me

But I can't sit still

Because I know that I will

And you'll be watching me girl, takin' over the world

Let the stripes unfurl, gettin' rich singin' "Poor boy, boy"

And I'll be comin' to play, I do it every day

And the title will stay, Hip Eponymous Poor Boy, boy (Yeah)
