Regina Spektor was born in Moscow, Russia, to a musical family. Her father, a photographer, was also an amateur violinist, and her mother was a music professor in a Russian conservatory; she now teaches at a public elementary school in Mount Vernon, New York. Spektor studied classical piano from the age of six, practicing on a Petrof piano given to her mother by her grandfather. She was also exposed to the music of rock and roll bands such as The Beatles, Queen, and The Moody Blues by her father, who obtained such recordings in Eastern Europe and traded cassettes with friends in the Soviet Union. The family left the Soviet Union in 1989, when Regina was nine, during the period of Perestroika when Jewish citizens were permitted to emigrate.

Poor Little Rich Boy Lyrics
Regina Spektor
Poor little rich boy, all the couples have gone
You wish that they hadnt, you dont wanna be alone
But they wanna kiss and they got homes of their own
Poor little rich boy all the couples have gone, theyve gone, theyve gone
And you dont love your girlfriend
You dont love your girlfriend
And you think that you should but she thinks that shes fat
But she isnt but you dont love her anyway
And you dont love your mother
And you know that you should
And you wish that you would
But you dont anyway
Poor little rich boy, all the world is okay
The water runs off your skin and down into the drain
Youre reading Fitzgerald, youre reading Hemmingway
Theyre both super smart and drinking in the cafs
And you dont love your girlfriend
You dont love your girlfriend
And you think that you should but she thinks that shes fat
But she isnt but you dont love her anyway
And you dont love your mother
And you know that you should
And you wish that you would
But you dont anyway
Youre so young, youre so goddamn young
Youre so young, youre so goddamn young
Youre so young, youre so goddamn young
Youre so goddamn young
Youre so goddamn young
Youre so young, youre so goddamn young
Youre so young, youre so goddamn young
Youre so goddamn young
And you dont love your girlfriend x4
