So rich
Brave Combo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And a nickel for each time that I tried to warn you
You'd be getting ready to go out and looking for something to wear
You wouldn't be all alone at home in your chair
Now a woman needs a man that she can depend on
Not just some guy who comes 'round when he wants some
If I told you once I've told you twice
Someday you'd have to pay the priceBut you wouldn't listen
And now you've finally opened up your eyes and found that love has changed
Well hey now with reason
That's rich so rich
That's rich so rich
Well this is one fine way for things to have worked out
What goes around comes around oh the way things turn about
Homeboy vato loco latin love macho man
Trying to get around every able-bodied woman that you can
What's good for the goose is good for the gander
Well look who's a clown and a great pretender
You've got to start to realize there's so much more in this whole world
Than your little pinga
Think with the head between your shoulders and not the one about your belvic region
That's rich
So rich
That's rich
So rich
Blow daddy.. grease it up, grease it up, grease it up now
Na na na na na nanna na na
The lyrics of Brave Combo's song "So Rich" give a stern warning to a woman who didn't listen to the singer's advice regarding love. The opening lines convey the singer's frustration towards the woman's inability to heed his warning. The repetition of telling the woman is depicted metaphorically using the coins, "If I had a dime for each time that I told you and a nickel for each time that I tried to warn you." The singer believes that if the woman had listened, she wouldn't be alone at home, and she would be out looking for something to wear. In the subsequent lines, the singer asserts that a woman needs a dependable man, not just someone who visits when they want something. There is a sense of resentment towards the woman who didn't listen to him in the lines, "If I told you once I've told you twice, someday you'd have to pay the price. But you wouldn't listen."
The chorus, "That's rich, so rich," conveys the irony of the situation. The same woman who didn't trust the singer's advice has finally discovered love has changed. The singer sarcastically remarks that the woman has come to this knowledge "with reason." The second part of the song portrays the singer as an onlooker to a man whose approach to love seems skewed. The lines "Homeboy vato loco latin love macho man trying to get around every able-bodied woman that you can" suggest this is about a man who is not faithful to his partner. The singer comments that what's good for the goose is good for the gander and equates the man to a clown and pretender.
The song concludes with the singer urging the man to think with the head between his shoulders and not the one in his groin region. The words "belvic region" are a portmanteau of pelvis and belly, alluding to the region between the belly and pelvis.
Line by Line Meaning
If I had a dime for each time that I told you
If I had a coin for every time I warned you
And a nickel for each time that I tried to warn you
If I had a smaller coin for each warning you ignored
You'd be getting ready to go out and looking for something to wear
You'd be preparing to go out rather than staying alone
You wouldn't be all alone at home in your chair
You wouldn't be alone and inactive
Now a woman needs a man that she can depend on
Women want a reliable partner
Not just some guy who comes 'round when he wants some
Not someone who only shows up for their own interests
If I told you once I've told you twice
I've repeated my warning
Someday you'd have to pay the price
One day you'll face consequences
But you wouldn't listen
You ignored my advice
And now you've finally opened up your eyes and found that love has changed
You've realized that love evolves over time
Well hey now with reason
You now have a clear perspective
That's rich so rich
That's ironic
That's rich so rich
That's amusingly ironic
Well this is one fine way for things to have worked out
The situation turned out well
What goes around comes around oh the way things turn about
Karma catches up with people
Homeboy vato loco latin love macho man
Stereotypical macho man
Trying to get around every able-bodied woman that you can
Trying to seduce as many women as possible
What's good for the goose is good for the gander
Same rules apply to everyone
Well look who's a clown and a great pretender
You're the one being foolish and deceptive
You've got to start to realize there's so much more in this whole world
There's more to life than your own desires
Than your little pinga
Than your own gratification
Think with the head between your shoulders and not the one about your belvic region
Make wise decisions, not based on your sexual needs
Blow daddy.. grease it up, grease it up, grease it up now
