Loving Pauper
Love Beyond Wealth: A Pauper's Passion
Lyrics
I'm not in a position to maintain you
I lack the financial means to support you
The way that you're accustomed to
I cannot provide for you in the way you are used to
Can't take you out to fancy places
I can't take you to expensive places
Like other fellows that I know can do
Unlike other men I know who can afford such luxuries
I'm only able to romance you
My ability is limited to expressing romantic feelings
And make you tingle with delight
I can bring you joy and excitement
Financially, I'm a pauper
Financially, I am poor
But when it comes to loving, I'm alright
But in terms of love and affection, I am capable
Alright, alright
Reassurance of capability in love
Don't show me what you're friends are wearing
Don't showcase your friends' material possessions
I really don't want to see
I prefer not to see or focus on such displays
Don't tell me what your friends are buying
Don't inform me about your friends' purchases
'Cause money doesn't grow on trees
Money is not easily obtained
Tell me about the things that excite you
Share with me what excites and brings you joy
That makes you tingle with delight
Reaffirmation of the ability to bring delight
Tell me where to hold and touch you
Guide me on how to touch and hold you
So when it comes to loving, I'm alright
In matters of love, I am proficient
Alright, alright
Reiteration of proficiency in love
Jewels are things I can't buy you, girl
I cannot afford to buy expensive jewelry
Or drive you in a GT car
I don't possess a luxury car
If you're hungry, girl, I can't feed you
If you're hungry, I can't provide for you
For my money, girl, you won't get far
My financial situation limits your material desires
I got so many patches on my clothes, girl
Describing the poor state of his clothing
A hole in the bottom of my shoe
Highlighting the worn-out state of his shoes
I think you bring my love to luxury
Belief that love surpasses material wealth
Baby, I've got to tell you I'm alright
Expressing confidence in his ability to love
Alright, alright, alright, alright
Reiteration of confidence in love
