Money Love
Love Beyond Money: Neneh Cherry's Reflections on Life's True Riches
Lyrics
With the power that some lovin' can bring
Expressing the transformative power of love
makes the mountain high stacks of money and things
Highlighting the pursuit of material wealth
That I need change
Desire for change in life
And fade away sometimes
Acknowledging the transient nature of happiness
When I look in the mirror
Reflection on self-image
I see a little clearer
Gaining clarity about oneself
I am what I am
Acknowledgment and acceptance of one's identity
And you are you to
Recognition of individuality in others
Do you like what you see?
Questioning others' perception of oneself
Do you like yourself?
Reflection on self-esteem
Money love
Introduction of the theme "Money Love"
And goldpayments
Associating love with financial transactions
We spend our lives thinking they are saviors
Critical view of material pursuits as saviors
Money talks but love is for real
Comparing the influence of money and love
And you know that, uhuhuh...
Affirming the authenticity of love
Then a picture comes into my mind
Imagery of a realization about the need for money
Everybody knows you need some money sometimes
Recognition of the universal need for money
Could it be that we need lovin' to survive
Suggesting that love is essential for survival
So look into my eyes
Invitation to gaze into the speaker's eyes
I wont tell you lies
Commitment to honesty in communication
Who do you see?
Questioning who others perceive in the speaker
Do you see yourself?
Reflection on self-perception
Do you like what you see?
Questioning others' perception of the speaker
Do you like yourself?
Reflection on self-esteem in others
Money love
Reiteration of the theme "Money Love"
And goldpayments
Associating love with financial transactions
We spend our lives thinking they are saviors
Critical view of material pursuits as saviors
Money talks but love is for real
Comparing the influence of money and love
And you know that, uhuhuh...
Affirming the authenticity of love
So how do we drink in a sinking ship?
Pondering on survival in challenging situations
How do we float in a sinking boat?
Ruminating on maintaining stability in adversity
How do we rock when the rock is rollin'?
Adapting to difficulties with resilience
Give me a float & keep the mool a rollin'?
Desiring financial stability in turbulent times
Talking about talking about talking about money
Emphasizing the pervasive influence of money
Nothing's for free in the land of milk'n honey
Highlighting the cost of living in a prosperous land
Got a foot on the bridge over troubled water
Navigating challenges with a metaphorical bridge
A credit cards cool but I'll settle for a quarter
Preference for modesty over excessive wealth
