Love Is for the Middle Class

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I got my G.E.D with a 2.2 I couldn't take four more in a business school Just to spend another 20 in a cubicle So I got a summer job cleaning swimming pools I saw my little angel in a one piece suit She had a high class mind and her face was cute For the first time I didn't know what to do I said, "I'd better start to make the cash Love is for the middle class" [Chorus] If all I had was love, would I still be lovely I all I gave was love, would you give up on me But if you measure love in false securities I owe you nothin' at all Don't owe you nothin' at all Don't need your lovin' at all Don't owe you nothin' at all Hey [Verse 2] Your daddy got in trouble with the I.R.S Left your momma with a baby and a pile of debt Sent you off to public school with all the rest Now you're lookin for a man who can pay the rent and For the first time you don't know what to do Your head say no But your heart says true When every other man just puts you last I said, "I'd better make the cash Love is for the middle class" [Chorus] If all I had was love, would I still be lovely I all I gave was love, would you give up on me But if you measure love in false securities I owe you nothin' at all Don't owe you nothin' at all Don't need your lovin' at all Don't owe you nothin' at all Hey [Bridge] Oh, I wouldn't mind it if we nickle and we dime it Just to be together in the end Maybe just a little till we make it to the middle And they're takin' half of every cent If you can find a brother that can take you from the gutter Than I get if you gotta go But does he really see you like you know I really see you Does he love you with his rebel soul Like I can love you baby Like I do [Pre-Chorus] I said, "I'd better make the cash Love is for the middle class" I said, "I'd better make the cash Love is for the middle class" [Chorus] If all I had was love, would I still be lovely I all I gave was love, would you give up on me But if you measure love in false securities I owe you nothin' at all Don't owe you nothin' at all Don't need your lovin' at all Don't owe you nothin' at all I owe you nothin' at all Don't owe you nothin' at all Don't need your lovin' at all Don't owe you nothin' at all Hey
