It ain't the clothes that you wear It ain't the things that you buy It ain't your house on the hill It ain't the plane that you fly It ain't your black limousine It ain't your ninety-foot yacht It ain't the things that you'll get It ain't the things that you got It ain't the money or the diamond rings Honey I ain't impressed with your material things It's the way that you love me It's just the way that you love me It ain't your friends at the top It ain't their fortune and fame It ain't your heavy connections It ain't the Hollywood game Ain't famous people or the parties they throw Honey I ain't impressed with all the people you know It's just the way that you love me (In the heat of the night) It's just the way that you love me (Baby) It's just the way that you love me (When you're loving me right) It's just the way that you love me (Baby) It's just the way that you love me (And the things that you do) It's just the way that you love me (Baby) It's just the way that you love me (Make me crazy for you) It's just the way that you love me It ain't the trips to Brazil It ain't the weekends in Rome It ain't the French Riviera You know I'd rather stay home Ain't the Bahamas It ain't Monaco Honey I ain't impressed With all the places we go The way that you love me (It ain't the money) It's just the way that you love me (Or the diamond rings) The way that you love me (Ain't what you buy me baby) It's just the way that you love me (Ain't material things) The way that you love me (Ain't your Maserati) It's just the way that you love me (Your house on the hill) The way that you love me (It ain't the parties) It's just the way that you love me (Or the trips to Brazil) It's just the way that you love me The way that you love me The way that you love me It's just the way that you love me
