Broke by Natalie Williams Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oops, there goes another bill, baby
A red one, guess we're not ok
I know we like to having all the nice things
We gotta hold it down somehow
Reading right to left on a menu
To say what we can pay
Funny how you notice what friends you
Have who stick around right now
[Pre-Chorus]
We're heading for broke
So much we can't justify
Suddenly we're choked
But we still resist a fight
[Chorus]
Ooh
You may not have a penny
And ooh
I can't seem to make any but what's true
Is we may be broke, but we ain't broke
When I got you
Ooh
You may not have a penny
And ooh
I can't seem to make any but what's true
Is we may be broke, but we ain't broke
When I got you
[Post-Chorus]
(Can't make a penny, make a penny)
(Can't make a penny, make a penny)
(Can't make a penny, make a penny)
[Verse 2]
Oops, they stopped our cards and cut the phone line
Big sigh, hard times
Couldn't even get to work if I tried
Don't this vicious circle get old?
Looking at the dress dreams are made of
Wishing it was mine
But we only got pockets that jangle
When all we need is money that folds
[Pre-Chorus]
We're heading for broke
So much we can't justify
Baby it's no joke
'Cause jokes don't keep me up at night, no
[Chorus]
Ooh
You may not have a penny
And ooh
I can't seem to make any but what's true
Is we may be broke, but we ain't broke
When I got you
Ooh
You may not have a penny
And ooh
I can't seem to make any but what's true
Is we may be broke, but we ain't broke
When I got you
[Bridge]
When I got you
And all the riches of the world wouldn't mean a thing without you
And I've got you
And I know we can win at life, just us two
But wouldn't it be funny if this song made us money
(Can't make a penny, make a penny)
Mmm, the irony
(Can't make a penny, make a penny)
(Can't make a penny, make a penny)
(Can't make a penny, make a penny)
We so broke, ain't got no money
(Can't make a penny, make a penny)
(Can't make a penny, make a penny)
We so broke but I don't care I got no money
(Can't make a penny, make a penny)
[Chorus]
Ooh
You may not have a penny
And ooh
I can't seem to make any but what's true
Is we may be broke, but we ain't broke
When I got you
Ooh
You may not have a penny
And ooh (May not have a penny now)
I can't seem to make any but what's true
Is we may be broke, but we ain't broke (Ain't broke)
When I got you
Ooh
You may not have a penny (You may not have a penny now)
And ooh
I can't seem to make any but what's true
Is we may be broke, but we ain't broke
When I got you
Oops, there goes another bill, baby
A red one, guess we're not ok
I know we like to having all the nice things
We gotta hold it down somehow
Reading right to left on a menu

Ooh

Is we may be broke, but we ain't broke
When I got you
Ooh

And ooh
I can't seem to make any but what's true
Is we may be broke, but we ain't broke
When I got you
[Post-Chorus]
(Can't make a penny, make a penny)
(Can't make a penny, make a penny)
