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'm really alive

I will buy you a garden, where your flowers can bloom

I will buy you a new car, perfect shinny 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 all the times before

with that obsessive little rich boy

they might 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

I will buy you a garden, where your flowers can bloom

I will buy you a new car, perfect shinny 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 we can never look back

will you please let me stay the night

no one will ever know
