When you wake in a dream
Wrapped in Versace sheets, that's amore
When you rip off his clothes
In his all black luxor, that's amore
When the light hits your eyes
'Cause that eight karat shines, that's amore
When he spends his money on ya
Fly to Positano anytime you want to, that's amore

They say money can't buy love

But for my love (yeah)
I need diamonds the size of an island
I deserve everything you can buy me (yeah)
Spend it on me, oh

Love the way he's kissing on my lips
The way he put that gold Carti' on my wrist
I can't resist the way he working that
One hand on the whip, one on my hip
Got me falling in love

When you wake in a dream
Wrapped in Versace sheets, that's amore
When you rip off his clothes
In his all black luxor, that's amore
When the light hits your eyes
'Cause that eight karat shines, that's amore
When he spends his money on ya
Fly to Positano anytime you want to, that's amore (huh)

Diamonds on my middle finger (shine)
Fuck you to the simple niggas (huh)
Versace's sweaters in the linen
Smoking Cali out in Venice (boss)
Mansion bought and never in it
Bought a Benz, and I'm living like a menace
I remember TM, but I'm never finished
Like a set of rims, Rozay always spinnin'
Gianni versus Donatella (huh)
Glass slippers, Cinderella (huh)
Lamborghini, slice the cheddar (yeah)
For my brother in the cellar
Big bank, small minded individual
Small talkers, label minuscule
When you're dealing with a realer dude
Talk and started dealin' back in middle school

Love the way he's kissing on my lips
The way he put that gold Carti' on my wrist
I can't resist the way he working that
One hand on the whip, one on my hip
Got me falling in love

When you wake in a dream
Wrapped in Versace sheets, that's amore
When you rip off his clothes
In his all black luxor, that's amore
When the light hits your eyes
'Cause that eight karat shines, that's amore
When he spends his money on ya
Fly to Positano anytime you want to, that's amore

I flaunt my wealth with diamonds on my middle finger, wearing Versace sweaters as linen, smoking marijuana in Cali's Venice, living in a mansion that I never use, having a Benz and living recklessly. I'm always upgrading my possessions like my car rims. I love Gianni more than Donatella. I buy expensive things like glass slippers, a Lamborghini to slice the hard work of making money, and for my brother in prison. I am a big bank, and I don't bother with small-minded individuals or minuscule record labels. I am a truly authentic, real man who's been dealing in business since my middle school days.
