Life of fortune and fame
I don't want to flash any names
But it sure ain't me
I'm wondering how can it be
That we're together
If money makes you be
What do you see in me?
I live in misery
With my prosperity
With not another
Make sure it's in your mind
You'll make a mistake
And it'll be too late
I hope it's not your fate
To stand in my shoes
No, no, no, no, no
Hey!
I've learned to live this way
Morning, night and day
Maybe you had better stray
I must have something to pay
It must be back due
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Uh-huh, woo, yeah
Uh-huh, uh, uh-huh, yeah
ย
Are you sure you want to be with me?
Are you sure you wanna be my baby, baby?
Do you wanna be my baby?
You wanna be my baby, baby?
What made you give up the life
Of everything that's so rich
What made you get that itch
To come down in my ditch
Of almost nothing?
If you are what you appear
You got to be something, dear
You've changed my atmosphere
I hope that you stay near
So I can have something
How do I know
That you're not playing some game?
And you just chose my name
To be your specimen
I cannot make it
No, no, no, no, no
Woo-hoo
If this is a game
And I'm your specimen
You got to let me know, babe
So I can go
I'd have to fake it
I could not make it
You could not take it
Uh-huh, woo, hoo-hoo
Ooh, no, no, oh, no
Girl
