Love Is For The Middle Class

I got my G.E.D with a 2.2

I couldn't take four more in a business school

Just to spend another twenty 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

And 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"

If all I had was love, would I still be lovely?

If 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

Your daddy got in trouble with the I.R.S.

Left your mama 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 says 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"

If all I had was love, would I still be lovely?

If 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

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

Then 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?

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"

If all I had was love, would I still be lovely?

If 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
