Makin Money
Love in the Green: Navigating Romance Amidst Financial Tides
Lyrics
Got a boy
Introduction of having a boyfriend
He's unemployed
Describing the boyfriend as unemployed
He doesn't bring home bacon
Boyfriend doesn't contribute financially
But I don't care
Expressing indifference towards fairness
If it's not fair
Emphasizing the importance of making money
Cuz money's what I'm makin
Money is the primary focus
He only likes me when I'm makin money
Boyfriend's preference for the singer when she's making money
Makin money
Repetition, highlighting the theme of making money
Makin money
-He don't like me when I'm broke
Boyfriend's disapproval when the singer is broke
He only likes me when I'm makin money
Reiteration of boyfriend's preference for financial success
Makin money
Repetition, emphasizing the significance of making money
Makin money
-He brings my spirits up
Boyfriend lifts the singer's spirits but affects her financial balance negatively
But my balance down
Highlighting boyfriend's interest in the singer's financial status
He's always checkin out my checkin account
-And when I need him around
Boyfriend is readily available when there's money to be found
He can always be found
-Right there in my pockets
-Baby he is the one for me
Despite financial constraints, the singer values the boyfriend
Though his love ain't free
-He only likes me when I'm makin money
Repetition of the boyfriend's preference for a financially successful partner
Makin money
-Makin money
-He don't like me when I'm broke
Boyfriend's disapproval when the singer is financially struggling
He only likes me when I'm makin money
Reiteration of the importance of making money for the relationship
Makin money
-Makin money
-If I don't pay the bills
Consequences of not paying bills leading to relationship issues
He won't give me no thrills
-He'll walk right out that door and head straight for the hills
-He doesn't win the bread
Boyfriend's domestic role versus his availability for the singer
He stays at home instead
-But when I need him he is right there in my bed
-Last week I got let go
Singer losing her job and its impact on the relationship
And don't you know
-I haven't seen my boyfriend
-But that's all right
Acceptance of the situation, focusing on survival
Cuz when it's cold at night
-He'll be collecting scraps of food
-While I'm collecting unemployment
Contrasting activities: Boyfriend collecting food scraps, singer collecting unemployment
He only likes me when I'm makin money
Repetition of the boyfriend's preference for financial success
Makin money
-Makin money
-He don't like me when I'm broke
Reiteration of the boyfriend's disapproval when the singer is broke
No he don't like me when I'm broke
Confirmation that the boyfriend doesn't like the singer when she's broke
He only likes me when I'm makin money
Final repetition of the theme of making money for the relationship
Makin money
