Lyrics Rich - The New Respects

Rich

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
