LOVE DON'T COST A THING

 

 

*You think you gotta keep me iced

You don't

You think I’m gonna spend your cash

I won't

Even if you were broke

My love don't cost a thing

Think I wanna drive your Benz

I dont

If I wanna floss I got my own

Even if you were broke

My love don't cost a thing*

 

When you rolled up in the Escalade

Saw  the dub¹ you gave to the valet

Knew that it was game when you looked at me

Pulling up your sleeve² so I could see the Rolley bling

Saw you later in the corner booth³

Raising up a toast so I would notice you

But your heart's a mess

Think you outta know

Doesn’t matter if you're balling out of control

 

#All that matters is

That you treat me right

Give me all the things I need

That money can't buy yeah #

 

Repeat *

 

When I took a chance

Thought you'd understand

Baby credit⁴ cards aren't romance⁵

So you're tryin' to buy what's already yours

What I need from you is not available in stores

Seen a side of you that I really feel

Doing way too much, never keep it real

If it doesn't change, gotta hit the road

Now I'm leaving, where's my keys?

I've got to go

 

Repeat #

Repeat *

 

A thing, a thing, a thing

Yeah, yeah, yeah

You think the money that you make

Can substitute the time you take

Take the keys here to my heart

Then you can win my heart, and get what's in my heart

I think you need to take some time

To show me that your love is true

There's more than dollar signs in you

Then you can win my heart, and get wha's in my heart

 

 

爱情非卖品

 

你想你会让我保持冷冰冰

你不会

你想我会花你的钱

我不会

即使你破产了

我的爱也无需花一文

以为我会开你的奔驰

我不会

如果我想打扮我花自己的

即使你破产了

我的爱也无需花一文

 

当你在云梯上扶摇直上时

看着你拍打着男仆

当你看着我，我知道那是一场游戏

卷起你的衣袖让我看到你的名牌手表

后来在街角小摊看到你

举起酒杯让我注意到你

但你心乱如麻

我想你应该知道

我不会在意你是否情难自控

 

我所在乎的是

你要好好对我

给我所需要的所有东西

那是用钱买不到的

 

我怀着侥幸的心理

以为你会明白

宝贝，信用卡并不浪漫

而你还在努力购买你已经拥有的

我从你那儿需要的东西在商店里买不到

我真正看到你的一面

办事太形式化，从不真实

如果不改变，我会离去

我现在要走了，我的钥匙何在

我一定要走了

 

物质，物质，物质

啊，啊，啊

你想你赚的钱

能够替代你的时间

拿开启我心的钥匙来

这样你才能赢得我的心，得到我心里的东西

我想你需要一些时间

向我证明你的爱是真挚的

你身上的爱比金钱要多

这样你才能赢得我的心，得到我心里的东西
