Ruth B. - 2 Poor Kids Lyrics
I don't want no time on the big screen.
I'm okay with me and my ripped jeans and you, and you.
Messy hair, that's what he likes on me.
I don't care as long as we're happy and free
They think it's a shame
That the world will never know our names,
But I think that's okay,
'Cause love gets ruined by money and power and fame,
And we're just 2 poor kids from a really rich city.
My oh my, what a pity.
'Cause we've got a love story unlike the rest,
No fancy suit and no fancy dress.
Just us, just us, just love, just love
He picks her up in a Benz,
But my lover comes by himself and a dozen roses,
He probably stole 'em.
He's got a smudge of mud on his eye
Here to makes me break into smile,
'Cause he drives them mad, oh, he drives them mad.
That the world will never know our names,
But I think that's okay,
'Cause love gets ruined by money and power and fame.
And we're just 2 poor kids from a really rich city,
My oh my, what a pity.
'Cause we've got a love story unlike the rest,
No fancy suit and no fancy dress,
Just us, just us, just love, just love,
Just us, just us, just love, just love.
Dollar signs all around us,
Too blinded by what we have to notice
Your mean old laughs.
Dollar signs all around us,
We sneak onto the city bus.
Too blinded by what we have
To notice your mean old laughs.
And they think it's a shame
That the world will never know our names,
But I think that's okay,
'Cause love gets ruined by money and power and fame.
And we're just 2 poor kids from a really rich city,
My oh my, what a pity.
'Cause we've got a love story unlike the rest,
No fancy suit and no fancy dress.
Just us, just us, just love, just love,
Just us, just us, just love, just love, love, love.

Ruth B. 2 Poor Kids Comments
Most heart filled song imo, but it takes me back to a time I fear to forget. One day it will all slip away. Nothing will change, but we will be awake.
This reminds me of my best friend and I. We're so different from the rest of our school.
I love your world of music, you truly are an inspiration.
She deserves so much more acknowledgement
This is the first female thing make me fill goosebumps after about my mom

People continue to comment about a woman’s choice to dress herself as if it’s associated with talent. Women can dress as modest or immodest as they like and it won’t add or take a single drop of their gifted voices. I’m not saying all of them are amazing but you’d be surprised how many great artist you could find that show a little more skin. Ruth B is wonderful. If she ever decides to dress herself otherwise her voice and songs express her mind, not her outfit.
I was pretty poor still like kd for dinner 3 times a week poor i sold weed and worked contruction to get by
"Love gets ruined by money and fame" so fucking true
Raw talent❤️
I'll watch this for hours on end repeatedly
