Loving Pauper
Love Beyond Wealth: Embracing Romance in Limited Means
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 the lavish lifestyle you're used to
Can't take you out to fancy places
I can't afford to take you to fancy places
Like other fellows that I know can do
Unlike others who can do so
I'm only able to romance you
My ability is limited to romancing you
& make you tingle with delight
I can bring you joy and excitement
Financially, I'm a pauper
Financially, I'm impoverished
But when it comes to lovin' I'm alright
But when it comes to love, I excel
Alright alright
Expressing assurance in his capability to 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
He doesn't want to see or be influenced by such displays
Don't tell me what your friends are buying, girl
Don't talk about what your friends are purchasing
'Cause money doesn't grow on trees
Money is not easily obtained
I got so many patches on my clothes, girl
Describing the worn condition of his clothes
A hole in the bottom of shoe
Highlighting financial difficulties with a hole in his shoe
Financially, I'm a pauper
Financially, still struggling (reiteration)
But when it comes to lovin I'm alright
Emphasizing his proficiency in love despite financial constraints
Alright alright
Reaffirming his emotional strength
You do really think I can buy you girl
Questioning if material possessions can win her over
Or drive you in a GT car
Expressing inability to afford luxury items or a fancy car
If you're hungry, girl, I can't feed you
Unable to provide food if she's hungry
For my money, girl, you won't get far
Not expecting her to go far with him for his money
Tell me about the things that excite you
Encouraging her to share her interests that bring joy
That makes you tingle with delight
Seeking to understand what excites her romantically
Tell me where to hold & touch you
Asking for guidance on how to express love physically
So you got to tell me, I'm alright
Reassurance that he can fulfill her desires in love
Alright alright
Repeated affirmation of his adequacy in love
