Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Mmm

Uh

Yeah

[Verse 2]

Here is the money that I owe you

Yeah, so you can pay 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

[Verse 3]

Yeah

Oh, I know we will never look back

Yeah

Uh

[Verse 4]

You say you wake up cryin'

Yes, and you don't know why

You get up and you go lay down inside my baby's room

And, yeah, I guess I'm doin' okay

I moved in with the strangest guy

Can you believe he actually thinks that I am really alive?

[Verse 5]

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

[Verse 6]

Yes, I know all about that other guy

The handsome man with 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

They can't make you laugh

No, they can't make you feel the way that I do

[Verse 7]

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 you buy you a new life

Yeah

I will buy you a new life

[Verse 8]

Oh

Yeah

Ooh, I know we can never look back

Yeah

No

[Verse 9]

Oh, will you please let me stay the night? (No one will ever know)

Will you please let me stay the night? (No one will ever know)

No one will ever know (No one will ever know)

Ooh, yeah (Yeah)

[Verse 10]

Ooh, 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

[Verse 11]

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

Yeah

I will buy you a new life

Yeah

I will buy you a new life (I will buy you a new life)

I will buy you a new life (I will buy you a new life)
