Lyrics

[Verse 1]
People think it's easy out here
You know, they see us in the fancy cars, fly clothes
(Oh, yes they do)
The little bling we wear, nah mean?
(Yeah)
Well, it's not easy
You have all that and you ain't got nobody to share it with
(No, no, oh, no)
We tryna find somebody, it's crazy
[Verse 2]
If I go to the club (If I go to the club)
They just wanna take me home
Just tryna have a good time
Just wanna get my drink on
If I got to the mall (If I go to the mall)
They come in the store
I'm just tryna chill
Said, I'm just tryna chill
[Verse 3]
I don't know if they think this is the glamorous life
(Oh, yes they do)
They wanna share the life with me
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
But he wants a girl who ain't bought all up in the hype
(Alright)
And for her, he'd do anything
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Verse 4]
I'll trade a million bucks
(A million bucks)
For someone's love who don't come with a price
(For someone who wouldn't come with a price)
I'll trade in all my cars
(Yeah, yeah)
For someone who will love me for life
(Who'll love me for life)
[Verse 5]
They could take away my platinum plaques
(They can take away)
That fame and fortune don't mean a thing
(They don't mean a thing)
I'll trade a lifetime just to
(Yes, I will)
Find someone who will love me just for me
(Who will love me just for me, yeah, yeah)
[Verse 6]
Gotta change my phone (Gotta change my phone)
'Cause they calling the crib (Hello?)
Just want some privacy
Just tryna live (Just tryna live)
If I'da known (If I'da known)
It woulda been this way
Woulda found a man a long time ago
[Verse 7]
Don't get me wrong, I'm still young, and I'm not hating, but
It's not as easy as it seems (Whoa, whoa)
'Cause I'm not out there looking for a hit and run
(Alright)
I want someone who can love me for me
(Yeah, yeah)
That's what I'll trade, yeah
[Verse 8]
I'll trade a million bucks
For someone's love who don't come with a price
(Who don't come with a price)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'll trade in all my cars
(A price)
For someone who will love me for life
(Tell 'em all, tell 'em all)
(If he can love me for life, for life)
[Verse 9]
They could take away my platinum plaques
(They can take away)
(Oh, no)
That fame and fortune don't mean a thing
(It won't mean a thing, baby, yeah, yeah, hey)
(It don't mean a thing, no)
I'll trade a lifetime just to
Find someone who will love me just for me
(Who'll love me just for me)
[Verse 10]
I know in love, sometimes you lose
I know, sometimes)
Sometimes it's just not right for you
(It's just not right)
And sometimes you win, but even then
(You win, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)
(Even then)
You gotta go through it, gotta go through it
(You got to go through it)
[Verse 11]
That's why I wish, I wish I could find
(That's why I wish)
(Oh, yeah)
Someone to share the same thoughts as me
(Someone to share my thoughts, baby)
I know they're out there, I know that somewhere
(I know, somewhere)
I'll do anything
(Anything, yeah)
[Verse 12]
I'll trade a million bucks
(I'll trade, I'll trade)
For someone's love who don't come with a price
(Tell 'em all, tell 'em all, yeah, baby)
(They could take my cars, they could take my rim )
I'll trade in all my cars
(They could take everything)
For someone who will love me for life
(Oh, oh, oh)
[Verse 13]
They could take away my platinum plaques
(See they could take away)
(All my life)
That fame and fortune don't mean a thing
(Everything I got, I got, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'll trade a lifetime just to
Find someone who will love me just for me
(Just for me)
[Verse 14]
I'll trade a million bucks
(They could have my cars, they could take my crib)
(Yeah)
For someone's love who don't come with a price
(Everything I own, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(They could take my dough, they could take it all)
I'll trade in all my cars
(Yeah)
(All my cars)
For someone who will love me for life
