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.
