Lyrics
I was poor in love
I lacked love in my life
I was poor in wealth
I lacked wealth
I was okay in everything else there was
I was satisfactory in everything else
Oh, I was poor in love
Reiteration of being deficient in love
I was poor in love
Repetition of being poor in love
I was poor in love
Continued emphasis on lacking love
I was poor in wealth
Reiteration of lacking both love and wealth
I was okay in everything else there was
Being fine in other aspects of life
Oh, I was poor in love
Emphasizing the deficiency in love again
I was poor in love
Continued expression of being poor in love
She took me aside and said
Someone advises or confronts the speaker
Look, I don't do this every day
The person doesn't do what is being discussed every day
You've got style
Complimenting the speaker on having style
All you've got is style
Emphasizing that style is the speaker's main attribute
I can see it from a mile away
Recognition of style from a distance
Oh, I was poor in love
Reiteration of being poor in love
I was poor in love
Continued expression of lacking love
You were born again, rich in name alone
Addressing someone who is newly successful, but it's only in name
Your Jesuit profile will suit the coming apocalypse
Reference to a Jesuit profile and its suitability for an impending catastrophe
Oh, I was poor in love
Reiteration of being poor in love
Poor in love
Repeating the phrase "Poor in love"
Why's everybody sing along
Questioning why everyone is singing along about building a city on ruins
Why's everybody sing along
-When we built this city on ruins
-Why's everybody sing along
-Why's everybody sing along
-When we built this city on ruins
-Oh, ruins
Repetition of the word "ruins"
Oh, ruins
-Oh, ruins
-
