here is the money that i owe you
|
so you can pay the bills
|
i will give you more
|
when i get paid again
|
|
i hate those people who love to tell you
|
money is the root of all that kills
|
they have never been poor
|
they have never had the joy
|
of a welfare christmas
|
|
i know we will never look back
|
you say you wake up crying
|
yes and you don't know why
|
you get up and you go lay down
|
inside my baby's room
|
|
i guess i'm doing ok
|
i moved in with the strangest guy
|
can you believe
|
he actually thinks
|
that i am really alive
|
|
i will buy you a garden
|
where your flowers can bloom
|
i will buy you a new car
|
perfect shiny and new
|
i will buy you that big house
|
way up in the west hills
|
i will buy you a new life
|
|
yes i will
|
|
i know all about that other guy
|
the handsome man with athletic thighs
|
i know about the times before
|
with that obsessive little rich boy
|
|
they might make you think you're happy
|
yeah maybe for a minute or two
|
they can't make you laugh
|
no they can't make you feel
|
the way that i do
|
|
chorus
|
|
i know we can never look back
|
|
will you please let me stay the night
|
no one will ever know
|
|
chorus
|
|
i will buy you a new life
|
