Love Don't Cost a Thing
Fat Joe Feat. Jennifer Lopez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Think I'm gonna spend your cash? I won't
Even if you were broke
My love don't cost a thing
Think I wanna drive your Benz? I don't
If I wanna floss, I got my own
Even if you were broke
My love don't cost a thing
When you rolled up in the Escalade
Saw that dub you gave to the valet
Knew that it was game when you looked at me
Pulling up your sleeve so I could see the Rollie bling
Saw you later in the corner booth
Raising up a toast, so I would notice you
But you're hard to miss
Think you oughta know
Doesn't matter if you're balling out of control
All that matters is
That you treat me right
Give me all the things I need
That money can't buy, yeah
Think you gotta keep me iced, you don't
Think I'm gonna spend your cash, I won't
Even if you were broke
My love don't cost a thing
Think I wanna drive your Benz, I don't
If I wanna floss, I got my own
Even if you were broke
My love don't cost a thing
When I took a chance
Thought you'd understand
Baby, credit cards aren't romance
Still you're tryna buy what's already yours
What I need from you is not available in stores
Seen a side of you that I really feel
Doing way too much, never keep it real
If it doesn't change, gotta hit the road
Now I'm leaving, where's my keys?
I've got to go
All that matters is
That you treat me right
Give me all the things I need
That money can't buy, yeah
Think you gotta keep me iced, you don't
Think I'm gonna spend your cash, I won't (baby)
Even if you were broke
My love don't cost a thing
Think I wanna drive your Benz, I don't
If I wanna floss, I got my own
Even if you were broke
My love don't cost a thing
A thing, a thing
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You think the money that you make
Can substitute the time you take
To get the keys into my heart
Then you can win my heart, don't know what's in my heart
I think you need to take some time
To show me that your love is true
There's more than dollar signs in you
Then you can win my heart, and get what's in my heart
Think you gotta keep me iced, you don't
Think I'm gonna spend your cash, I won't
Even if you were broke
My love don't cost a thing
Think I wanna drive your Benz, I don't
If I wanna floss, I got my own
Even if you were broke
My love don't cost a thing
Think you gotta keep me iced, you don't
Think I'm gonna spend your cash, I won't
Even if you were broke
My love don't cost a thing
Think I wanna drive your Benz, I don't
If I wanna floss, I got my own
Even if you were broke
My love don't cost a thing
Think you gotta keep me iced, you don't
Think I'm gonna spend your cash, I won't
Even if you were broke
My love don't cost a thing
Think I wanna drive your Benz, I don't
If I wanna floss, I got my own
Even if you were broke
My love don't cost a thing

When you rolled up in the Escalade
When you arrived in the big fancy car
Saw that dub you gave to the valet
Saw the twenty dollar bill you gave to the valet
Knew that it was game when you looked at me
I knew you were playing a game when you looked at me
Pulling up your sleeve so I could see the Rollie bling
You pulled up your sleeve to show off your expensive Rolex watch
Saw you later in the corner booth
I saw you later in the private corner table
Raising up a toast, so I would notice you
You raised your glass in a toast, hoping I would notice you
But you're hard to miss
But you are easy to notice
Think you oughta know
You should know
Doesn't matter if you're balling out of control
It doesn't matter if you have a lot of money
When I took a chance
When I gave you a chance
Thought you'd understand
I thought you would understand
Baby, credit cards aren't romance
Using credit cards to buy things is not romantic
Still you're tryna buy what's already yours
You're still trying to buy what I already have
What I need from you is not available in stores
What I need from you cannot be bought in a store
Seen a side of you that I really feel
I have seen a side of you that I really like
Doing way too much, never keep it real
You're trying too hard and not being genuine
If it doesn't change, gotta hit the road
If things don't change, I have to leave
Now I'm leaving, where's my keys?
I'm leaving now, where are my keys?
I've got to go
I have to leave
You think the money that you make
You think the money you have is enough
Can substitute the time you take
Can take the place of spending time with me
To get the keys into my heart
To truly win my heart
Then you can win my heart, don't know what's in my heart
Only then can you truly win my heart, but you don't even know what's in my heart
I think you need to take some time
I think you need to take some time
To show me that your love is true
To show me that your love is true
There's more than dollar signs in you
There's more to you than just money
A thing, a thing
Nothing, nothing
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yes, yes, yes

When Jennifer says love dont cost a thing. She means it doesnt cost money. Yet it cost much more. The only way it can be felt is if we free ourself from our own pride. Which is the hardest thing to do for a human being. It can only be achieve with the support of something not human. Our creator. Love doesnt come from outside but within. God is love and we were made by love. We cannot seek what we are, we just have to share it. As soon as thats understood everything falls into place.
