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 

Oh Robert 
Oh Robert
