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 am really alive



i will buy you a garden

where your flowers can bloom

i will buy you a new car

perfect shiny 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 the times before

with that obsessive little rich boy



they might make you 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



chorus



i know we can never look back



will you please let me stay the night

no one will ever know



chorus



i will buy you a new life
