I'm not in a position to maintain you, the way that you're accustomed to, Can't take you out to fancy places, Like other fellows that I know can do, I'm only able to romance you, & make you tingle with delight, Financially, I'm a pauper, but when it comes to lovin I'm alright. Alright alright Don't show me what you're friends are wearing, I really don't want to see, Don't tell me what your friends are buying, girl 'Cause money doesn't grow on trees. I got so many patches on my clothes, girl A hole in the bottom of shoe Financially, I'm a pauper, but when it comes to lovin I'm alright. Alright alright You do really think I can buy you girl, or drive you in a GT car, If you're hungry, girl, I can't feed you, for my money, girl, you won't get far, tell me about the things that excite you, that makes you tingle with delight, Tell me where to hold & touch you, So you got to tell me, I'm alright. Alright alright
