here is the money that i owe you
so you can pay the bills
i will give you more
when i get paid again

i hate those people who love to tell you
money is the root of all the kills 
they have never been poor 
they have never had the joy
of a welfare christmas

i know we will never look back

you say you wake up crying
yes and you don't know why
you get and you go lay down 
inside my baby's room

i guess i'm doing ok
i moved in with the strangest guy
can you believe 
he actually thinks
i am really alive

i will buy you a garden 
where your flowers can bloom
i will buy you a new car
perfect shiny and new
i will buy you that big house
way up in the west hills
i will buy you a new life

yes i will

i know all about that other guy
the handsom man with athletic thighs
i know about all the times before 
with that obsesive little rich boy

they might make you think your happy
yeah maybe for a minute or two
but they can't make you laugh
no they can't make you feel the way that i do

chorus

i know we can never look back

will you please let me stay the night 
no one will ever know

chorus

i will buy you a new life
