Lyrics
Don't have much
Expressing a lack of possessions or wealth.
But I've got just enough
Having just enough of what is needed.
And someday
Anticipating a future time.
I'll have more than I could ever need
Aspiring to have more than necessary.
Life is short and we don't
Emphasizing the brevity of life.
Get one more but I ain't worried
Expressing a lack of worry despite life's shortness.
Long as you're right here with me
Stating contentment as long as a specific person is present.
Some people win the lottery
Reference to people winning the lottery and living lavishly.
And live like they're royalty
Describing the lifestyle of those who win the lottery.
But they didn't get lucky like me
Expressing personal gratitude for a different kind of luck.
I wouldn't mind all the luxury
Openness to luxury but emphasizing unique fortune.
Or be a famous celebrity
Acknowledging the appeal of fame but valuing other aspects.
But I'd rather have no money
Preference for having no money over certain luxuries.
Or a palace with a view
Choosing a humble dwelling over a grand palace.
Don't wanna be king of the world
Rejecting the desire to be the king of the world.
If I can't have you
Emphasizing that being with a specific person matters more.
If I can't have you
Reiteration of the importance of a particular relationship.
If time is gold
Metaphorically valuing time as a precious resource.
Then I'm the richest man I know
Expressing a sense of richness based on shared moments.
When I count the moments that I spend with you
Quantifying the value of time spent with a loved one.
Some people win the lottery
Repeating the idea of winning the lottery and living lavishly.
And live like they're royalty
Reiterating the contrast between two types of luck.
But they didn't get lucky like me
Affirming personal gratitude for a different kind of luck.
I wouldn't mind all the luxury
Reiteration of the allure of luxury.
Or be a famous celebrity
Acknowledging the appeal of fame but valuing other aspects.
But I'd rather have no money
Preference for having no money over certain luxuries.
Or a palace with a view
Choosing a humble dwelling over a grand palace.
Don't wanna be king of the world
Rejection of the desire to be the king of the world.
If I can't have you
Emphasizing that being with a specific person matters more.
I wouldn't mind all the luxury
Reiteration of openness to luxury but valuing unique fortune.
Or be a famous celebrity
Acknowledging the appeal of fame but valuing other aspects.
But I'd rather have no money
Preference for having no money over certain luxuries.
Or a palace with a view
Choosing a humble dwelling over a grand palace.
Don't wanna be king of the world
Rejection of the desire to be the king of the world.
If I can't have you
Emphasizing that being with a specific person matters more.
If I can't have you
Reiteration of the importance of a particular relationship.
If I can't have you
-If I can't have you
-If I can't have you
