Lights, cameras, stars, crowds, noise

After sets, cell phones, Internet, Vegas bets

Private jets, limousine chauffeurs, all of that

Money, clothes and oh, diamonds, cars, rims, shining

None of this compares to what I see in you



Materials don't mean a thing to me

Girl, you are the world to me

If I had to pick a favorite thing

It would easily be my baby



Materials don't mean a thing to me

If I lost you, lady, then I'd go crazy

And I wouldn't have anything



Black cars, fly homes, condos with the chefs

Personal assistants, corporate, real estate

Yachts that will take you far away to islands

... bungalows, Costa Rica, Mexico

Girl, none of this compares to what I see in you



Materials don't mean a thing to me

Girl, you are the world to me

If I had to pick a favorite thing

It would easily be my baby



Materials don't mean a thing to me

If I lost you, lady, then I'd go crazy

And I wouldn't have anything, oh



Nothing without you, you make me wealthy

I'm all about you, so special to me

I turned off the phone, spent time alone

I don't wanna be selfish, girl, you're the one

I put you above all the superficial things



Materials don't mean a thing to me

Girl, you are the world to me

If I had to pick a favorite thing

It would easily be my baby



Materials don't mean a thing to me

If I lost you, baby, then I'd go crazy

And I wouldn't have anything



Materials don't mean a thing to me

Girl, you are the world to me

If I had to pick a favorite thing

It would easily be my baby



Materials don't mean a thing to me

If I lost my lady

And I wouldn't have anything
