Poor & Hungry Lyrics

She got a natural high
Every time he said goodbye
He was everything right
And his only reply
She had a natural smile
No one ever saw her cry
And he had no way of knowing
What she'd been through before

Poor and hungry
Poor and hungry
Poor and hungry in the high noon

He walked into her life
Like a Christmas parade
Kept his history hid
Found a cause to save
He was attracted to her
Like the moon on a river
Never leading her astray
Always knew just what to say

And she swallowed it whole
All the stories he told
And the romance unfolded
Like the petals of a rose
She was charmed by his habits
All the roads he traveled
But the truth it unravels
Like your favorite sweater sleeve
Oh he had to leave her

Poor and hungry
poor and hungry
poor and hungry in the high noon
