Love Is For The Middle Class

I got my G.E.D with a 2.2 I couldn't take four more in a business school Just to spend another twenty in a cubicle So I got a summer job cleaning swimming pools I saw my little angel in a one-piece suit She had a high-class mind and her face was cute And for the first time I didn't know what to do I said, "I'd better start to make the cash Love is for the middle class" If all I had was love, would I still be lovely? If all I gave was love, would you give up on me? But if you measure love in false securities I owe you nothin' at all Don't owe you nothin' at all Don't need your lovin' at all Don't owe you nothin' at all Hey Your daddy got in trouble with the I.R.S. Left your mama with a baby and a pile of debt Sent you off to public school with all the rest Now you're lookin' for a man who can pay the rent And for the first time you don't know what to do Your head says no, but your heart says true When every other man just puts you last I said, "I'd better make the cash Love is for the middle class" If all I had was love, would I still be lovely? If all I gave was love, would you give up on me? But if you measure love in false securities I owe you nothin' at all Don't owe you nothin' at all Don't need your lovin' at all Don't owe you nothin' at all Hey Oh, I wouldn't mind it if we nickle and we dime it Just to be together in the end Maybe just a little till we make it to the middle And they're takin' half of every cent If you can find a brother that can take you from the gutter Then I get if you gotta go But does he really see you like you know I really see you? Does he love you with his rebel soul Like I can love you, baby? Like I do? I said, "I'd better make the cash Love is for the middle class" I said, "I'd better make the cash Love is for the middle class" If all I had was love, would I still be lovely? If all I gave was love, would you give up on me? But if you measure love in false securities I owe you nothin' at all Don't owe you nothin' at all Don't need your lovin' at all Don't owe you nothin' at all I owe you nothin' at all Don't owe you nothin' at all Don't need your lovin' at all Don't owe you nothin' at all Hey --- Love is For the Middle Class - House of Heroes
