Rich by The New Respects Lyrics

If I had a pence
For every moment that I said I'd walk away
I'd be about as rich
As if I had a cent for all the times I stayed

And that's rich, baby
That's rich

And if the love you gave to me
Was water that would let me live
Well, I would slowly die of thirst
Because you've got no love to give
You took all my love and gambled every bit

And that's rich, baby
That's rich

When man lives for money
The money kills his soul
And no matter how hard he tries
He can't buy it back with all his gold
When man lives for money
The money kills his soul
And no matter how hard he tries
He can't buy it back with all his gold

Now one day I'll be basking in
The loving of some other man
And you'll still be a miser
Hanging onto things you just don't understand
One day you'll see the currency
Of life is love, not pennies in your hand

And that's rich
That's rich
