"Love Is for the Middle Class"
I got my G.E.D. with a 2.2
I couldn't take 4 more in a business school
Just to spend another 20 in a cubicle
So I got a summer job cleanin' swimming pools
I saw my little angel in a one-piece suit
She had a high class mind and her face was cute
For the first time I didn't know what to do
I said i better start to make the cash
Love is for the middle class
If all I had was love
Would I still be lovely?
If all I gave was love
Would you give up on me?
But if you measure love in false securites
I owe you nothin' at all
Don't owe you nothin' at all
Don't need your lovin' at all
Don't owe you nothin' at all
Hey
Your daddy got in trouble with the I.R.S.
Left your mama with a baby and a pile of debt
sent you off to public school with all the rest
Now you're lookin' for a man who can pay the rent
For the first time you don't know what to do
Your head say no, but your heart says true
When every other man just put you last
I said I better make the cash
Love is for the middle class
If all I had was love
Would I still be lovely?
If all I gave was love
Would you give up on me?
But if you measure love in false securites
I owe you nothin' at all
Don't owe you nothin' at all
Don't need your lovin' at all
Don't owe you nothin' at all
Hey
Oh, I wouldn't mind if we nickel and we dime it just to be together in the end
Maybe just a little till we make it to the middle and they're takin' half of every cent
If you find a brother who can take you from the gutter then I get it if you gotta go
But does he really see you like I know I really see you, does he love you with his rebel soul?
Like I can love you baby, like I do
I said I better make the cash
Love is for the middle class
I said I better make the cash
Love is for the middle class
If all I had was love
Would I still be lovely?
If all I gave was love
Would you give up on me?
But if you measure love in false securites
I owe you nothin' at all
Don't owe you nothin' at all
Don't need your lovin' at all
Don't owe you nothin' at all
Don't owe you nothin' at all
Don't need your lovin' at all
Don't owe you nothin' at all
Hey
