Robert's appearance is something to behold
Dressed in the finest of store bought clothes
My mamma sews my clothes cause I'm just a poor girl
But Robert is as real as his daddies
gold
Robert could have_any girl that he wanted
But his feelings for me each day
seems to grow
He don't know the reason,that he's so drawn to me
but there is a story that
Robert doesn't know
Oh Robert...Oh Robert
Robert is constantly making eyes at
me
He misunderstands the feelings we share
There's no way that I_can return his
glances
But I know the meaning of the feeling that's there
Robert if you knew,there
once was a rich boy
in love with a poor girl_long time ago
But the folks of that rich
boy,would not let them marry
And I am a symbol of the love that they stole
Oh
Robert...Oh Robert
Robert,Oh Robert if you only knew
The same blood is flowing in
both me and you
That rich boy's your father,but he's also mine
And my mamma's the poor
girl that he left behind
