A life of sanity and dignity
You know it takes two
And what’s the use in being a millionaire
If I can’t have you
I want to buy you… a home
I’ll pay your friends if you’re feeling alone
The pain of losing a guy like you
It’s a bigger cost than paying your dues
I can buy you oh yeah oh yeah
But I can’t make you do what you don’t
And I can hire you oh yeah oh yeah
But I can’t make you love me
I can’t make you
You say I never go for little
And I always need more
And you’re a thousand dollar playboy
That I just can’t afford
But I guess you got me oh oh
You got me hanging around for too long
I don’t want to stop it oh no oh no
I bought you a life and it’s with me you belong
I can buy you oh yeah oh yeah
But I can’t make you do what you don’t
And I can hire you oh yeah oh yeah
But I can’t make you love me
I can’t make you care
So if I can’t make you love me
If I can’t make you care
What prize can take me there
In this world?
Somebody told me cash is king
I didn’t mean to force you oh no
But I bet you fortune it’s with me you belong
And I can buy you oh yeah oh yeah
But I can’t make you do what you don’t
And I can hire you oh yeah oh yeah
But I can’t make you love me
I can’t make you care
I can’t take you there
