You Never Give Me Your Money
Financial Melodies: Unraveling the Money Blues in Sarah Vaughan's Masterpiece
Lyrics
You never give me your money
You withhold your financial support from me
You only give me your funny paper
You provide me with worthless or insincere promises
And in the middle of negotiations
During discussions or dealings
You break down
You experience a breakdown or failure
I never give you my number
I am reluctant to share my contact information with you
I only give you my situation
I only reveal my current circumstances to you
And in the middle of investigation
During an examination or scrutiny
I break down
I experience a breakdown or failure
Out of college, money spent
After finishing education, with no money left
See no future, pay no rent
Without seeing a positive future, avoiding rent payments
All the money's gone, nowhere to go
All the money is spent, and there's nowhere to go
Any jobber got the sack
Anyone engaged in odd jobs loses their employment
Monday morning, turning back
On Monday morning, turning back or reflecting
Yellow lorry slow, nowhere to go
A slow-moving yellow truck, nowhere to go
But, oh, that magic feeling, nowhere to go
Expressing a magical feeling despite having nowhere to go
Oh, that magic feeling, nowhere to go
Reiteration of the magical feeling despite the lack of direction
One sweet dream
A pleasant or hopeful vision
Pick up the bags and get in the limousine
Gather belongings and enter the luxurious car
Soon we'll be away from here
Anticipation of leaving the current situation
Step on the gas and wipe that tear away
Accelerate and wipe away sadness
One sweet dream came true today
A positive dream has materialized today
Came true today, came true today (yes, it did)
Confirmation that the dream has indeed come true
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
Counting, possibly representing a sequence or progression
All good children go to Heaven
Suggesting an idealized destination or outcome
