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
Then 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 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 nothing at all
Hey!
Your daddy got in trouble with the IRS
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 say no, but your heart says true
And every other man just puts you last, yeah
I said I 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 nothing 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
But if you find a brother who can take you from the gutter
Then I get it 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 better make the cash
Love is for the middle class
I said I 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 nothing 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 nothing at all
Hey!
