Here is the money that I owe you Yes 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 Yeah, 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 Yes, I know all about that other guy The handsome man with athletic thighs I know about all the time 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 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 I will buy you a new life I know we can never look back Will you please let me stay the night Will you please let me stay the night No one will ever know 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 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 I will buy you a new life I will buy you a new life I will buy you a new life I will buy you a new life I will buy you a new life I will buy you a new life
