Love Don't Cost a Thing
J.Lo ft. Fat Joe Lyrics

You think you gotta keep me iced (You don't)
You believe that I need to be adorned with jewelry and material possessions to stick around (but I do not).

You think I'm gonna spend your cash (I won't)
You assume that I will spend all of your money (but I won't).

Even if you were broke
Even if you had no money

My love don't cost a thing
My love cannot be purchased with material possessions.

Think I wanna drive your Benz (I don't)
You believe that I want to drive your expensive car (but I don't).

If I wanna floss I got my own
If I desire to show off my own possessions, I can do so myself.

When you rolled up in the Escalade
When you arrived in your expensive Cadillac Escalade

Saw that truck you gave to the valet
I noticed the truck you handed over to the valet.

Knew that it was game when you looked at me
I understood that it was all a ploy when you gave me a certain look.

Pulling up your sleeve so I could see the Rolley bling
You lifted up your sleeve to show me your Rolex watch.

Saw you later in the corner booth
I saw you again in a private booth in the corner of the room.

Raising up a toast so I would notice you
You raised a toast to catch my attention.

But your heart's a mess
You have emotional issues.

Think you outta know
You should be aware

Doesn't matter if you're balling out of control
It doesn't matter if you have a lot of money.

All that matter's is
What is important is

That you treat me right
You treat me with respect and dignity.

Give me all the things I need
Provide me with everything that's necessary.

That money can't buy yeah
Things that are invaluable.

When I took a chance
When I decided to give you an opportunity.

Thought you'd understand
I believed you would comprehend.

Baby, credit cards aren't romance
Using a credit card does not equal romance

So you're tryna buy what's already yours
You are attempting to purchase something that is already mine.

What I need from is not available in stores
I require something that is not sold in a store.

Seen a side of you that I really feel
I have witnessed a portion of your personality that resonates with me.

Doing way too much, never keep it real
You are always trying too hard and never being authentic.

If it doesn't change, gotta hit the road
If you don't change, then I have to leave.

Now I'm leaving, where's my keys?
I am now departing, where are my keys?

A thing, a thing, a thing
Nothing, just a thing.

Yeah, yeah, yeah
An exclamation of agreement or enthusiasm.

You think the money that you make
You believe that your income can compensate.

Can substitute the time you take
Can take the place of the effort and time dedicated to our relationship.

Take the keys here to my heart
Understand how to win my heart.

Then you can win my heart, and get what's in my heart
Only then will you have a chance to win my love and affection.

I think you need to take some time
I believe you need to spend time reflecting on your actions.

To show me that your love is true
To prove to me that you genuinely love me.

There's more than dollar signs in you
I see more value in you than your wealth.

You think you gotta keep me iced (You don't)
You believe that showering me with gifts and luxury items will make me stay (but it won't).

If I wanna floss I got my own
If I want to show off, I have my own possessions to do so.
