Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
What did I do to make you mad?
I swear I only told the truth
And none of this could hurt you now
And it's no insult to be poor
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
So take back all your money
Although I need it more than you
Just acknowledge that you knew me
On Solano Avenue
Whoa-oh-oh-whoa
I didn't mean you any harm
I didn't mean to bring you shame
It's not a sin that we had nothing
You and I were not to blame
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
So take back all your money
Although I need it more than you
Just acknowledge that you knew me
On Solano Avenue
Whoa-oh-oh-whoa
Whoa-oh-oh-whoa
When they teased you on the street
When they hurt you deep inside
To me, it was, that you came running
And I held you when you cried
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
So take back all your money
Although I need it more than you
Just acknowledge that you knew me
On Solano Avenue
Whoa-oh-oh-whoa
Whoa-oh-oh-whoa
Whoa-oh-oh-whoa
Whoa-oh-oh-whoa
