Here is the money that I owe you,
Yes, you can pay all 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 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 the athletic thighs.
I know all 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.
But 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 know we can never look back.
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.
Oh, yeah!
I will buy you a new life.
