It Don't Come Cheap
Dolby's Cube Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love wont pay (won′t pay) Grand Marnier (Marnier)
Beaujolais (jolais) Top Rose' (Rose′)
Love wont get (won't get) out of debt (out of debt)
What you want (what you want) is a fat paycheck (paycheck)
You can get it if you want it, but don't lose it once you got it
(When you can′t afford to eat)
You know it don′t come cheap, you got to find your feet
And you wont catch me lose any sleep over love
You know it don't come cheap, you got to earn your keep
And you won′t catch me lose any sleep over love
I ain't lose any sleep over love
I ain′t lose any sleep over love
Love won't get (won′t get) you a private jet jet (big jet)
Or chrome and fin (and fin) on a pink corvette (corvette)
Love won't get (won't get) you an Elvis lip (big lip)
A Beatle wig (Beatle wig) for a talking head (king head)
You can get it if you want it, don′t lose it once you got it
You gotta do it like you planned it what good is talk, baby
(I wanna cut off the phone!)
You know it don′t come cheap, you got to find your feet
And you won't catch me lose any sleep over love
You know it don′t come cheap, you got to earn your keep
And you won't catch me lose any sleep over love
I ain′t lose any sleep over love
I ain't lose any sleep over love
OWWW!
You can get it if you want it, don′t lose it once you got it
You gotta do it like you planned it what good is mercy
(Oh, when you can't afford to eat)
You know it don't come cheap, you got to find your feet
And you won′t catch me lose any sleep over love
You know it don′t come cheap, you got to earn your keep
And you won't catch me lose any sleep over love
I ain′t lose any sleep over love
I ain't lose any sleep over love
