budgeted love

Love me on a budget

Love me on a budget

She says she's done with shallow men,

Then checks the label on my coat.

Says she needs a deeper love—

Preferably on a boat.

I point out the city lights.

She asks which ones I own.

She wants a self-made millionaire.

I just made rent today.

Love me on a budget,

Kiss me when the card declines.

You say money doesn't matter,

Then you ask me what I drive.

Love me on a budget,

Kitchen dancing, dinner for two.

You keep shopping for a lifestyle,

I just want a life with you.

I rented something low and loud,

Parked it right outside.

Said I didn't care for status,

Left the keys in plain sight.

We got the perfect picture.

I don't recognize that guy.

We both came here for something real.

Look how well we lie.

Love me on a budget,

Kiss me when the card declines.

You say money doesn't matter,

Then you ask me what I drive.

Love me on a budget,

Kitchen dancing, dinner for two.

You keep shopping for a lifestyle,

I just want a life with you.

If we put our phones down,

Would we have a thing to say?

If nobody was watching,

Would you want to stay?

Love me, love me

On a budget

Love me, love me

On a budget

(on a budget,

on a budget)

Love me on a budget,

Kiss me when the card declines.

You say money doesn't matter,

Then you ask me what I drive.

Love me on a budget,

Kitchen dancing, dinner for two.

You keep shopping for a lifestyle,

I just want a life with you.

Love

me on a budget.

Nobody's watching.

Would you stay?
