Filthy Rich
Abe Parker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't cry until what has happened now
I've been craving you but now you're found
Oh you and I
You've got me thinking about kids
You don't understand how rare that is
I'm okay with getting old and ugly if it's you and l
Oh you and I
Oh you and I
Oh you and I
When you took my hand I took a little ibuprofen
I never knew it hurt so good, to swallow my pride
And I want somebody, wanted to keep my heart stretch open wide, yeah
Baby I'm rich
Baby I'm filthy rich
When I got you by my side
There nothing money could buy, oh
Baby we're rich
Baby we're rich
You're so beautiful I wanna die
Don't deserve you looking in my eyes
I'll rather bleed than to see you cry, about you and I
I'll hold your head when you get sick
Argue with you all night if
That's what it takes to make amends with you and I
When you took my hand I took a little ibuprofen
I never knew it hurt so good to swallow my pride
And I want somebody, wanted to keep my heart stretched open wide
Wide
Baby I'm rich
Baby I'm filthy rich
When I got you by my side
There's nothing money could buy
Because baby I'm rich
Baby I'm filthy rich
When I got you by my side
And there's nothing money could buy oh
Baby we're rich
And baby I'm rich
Baby I'm filthy rich
When I got you by my side
There's nothing money could buy
In Abe Parker's song "Filthy Rich," the singer starts by declaring that he has bought a run-down Jeep and expresses his desire to cry, but he cannot do it because he has something special now. He has been thinking about someone, likely their partner, and wanting to have children with them. The singer talks about how rare it is for him to think about having kids, implying that this is someone important to him. He expresses his willingness to age and grow old, but only if it's with his partner. The lyrics repeat the idea of "you and I," which seems to be a central theme throughout the song.
The song then shifts to the singer expressing his love for their partner and how they are so beautiful that it feels like dying. He speaks about how they do not deserve their partner's love because it is too precious. The singer then says that they would rather bleed than see their partner cry about "you and I." This statement could be interpreted in different ways, but it may be that the singer feels responsible for the challenges or obstacles in their relationship.
In the chorus, the singer declares themselves "rich" and "filthy rich" when their partner is by their side. They emphasize that this type of richness cannot be bought with money. The repeated phrase "baby we're rich" adds to the sense of joy and abundance that the singer feels when they are with their partner.
Overall, the song conveys a sense of deep love and commitment towards the singer's partner, with the idea of "you and I" being a central theme. The lyrics also emphasize the value of love and connection over material wealth.
