Love Don't Cost a Thing
Jaymz Bee & The Deep Lounge Coalition Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You think you gotta keep me iced (You don't)
You 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 truck you gave to the valet
Knew that it was game when you looked at me
Pulling up your sleeve so I could see the Rolley bling
Saw you later in the corner booth
Raising up a toast so I would notice you
But your heart's a mess
Think you outta know
Doesn't matter if you're balling out of control

All that matter's is
That you treat me right
Give me all the things I need
That money can't buy yeah

You think you gotta keep me iced (You don't)
You 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
So you're tryna buy what's already yours
What I need from 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 matter's is
That you treat me right
Give me all the things I need
That money can't buy yeah

You think you gotta keep me iced (You don't)
You 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

A thing, a thing, a thing
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You think the money that you make
Can substitute the time you take
Take the keys here to my heart
Then you can win my heart, and get 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

You think you gotta keep me iced (You don't)
You 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

You think you gotta keep me iced (You don't)
You 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

You think you gotta keep me iced (You don't)
You 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

She describes how he tries to impress her with his money, but she sees through his games and realizes that his heart is not in the right place.

Line by Line Meaning

You think you gotta keep me iced (You don't)
You believe that buying me expensive things will keep me happy, but that's not true


You think I'm gonna spend your cash (I won't)
You assume that I am interested in your money, but I'm not


Even if you were broke
Even if you have no money


My love don't cost a thing
My love doesn't require material possessions


Think I wanna drive your Benz (I don't)
You think I want to drive your luxury car, but I would rather use my own


If I wanna floss I got my own
If I want to show off, I can do it with my own things


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


Saw that truck you gave to the valet
Saw the car you gave to the parking attendant


Knew that it was game when you looked at me
Realized that you were trying to impress me


Pulling up your sleeve so I could see the Rolley bling
Showing me your expensive Rolex watch


Saw you later in the corner booth
Saw you later in the private seating area


Raising up a toast so I would notice you
Making a gesture to get my attention


But your heart's a mess
But you are emotionally unavailable


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 if you can't love truly


When I took a chance
When I gave you a chance


Thought you'd understand
Believed you would comprehend


Baby credit cards aren't romance
Using your credit card doesn't equate to love


So you're tryna buy what's already yours
Trying to purchase something that should come naturally


What I need from is not available in stores
What I require from you cannot be bought


Seen a side of you that I really feel
Observed a part of you that I can connect with


Doing way too much, never keep it real
Trying too hard and not being authentic


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


Now I'm leaving, where's my keys?
I'm leaving, where are my car keys?


A thing, a thing, a thing
Nothing, nothing, nothing in terms of material possessions is important


Yeah, yeah, yeah
Agreement with previous statement


You think the money that you make
You believe that your income is the most significant thing


Can substitute the time you take
Can replace the time you spend with me


Take the keys here to my heart
Take the key to my heart


Then you can win my heart, and get what's in my heart
Then you can gain my love and all that comes with it


I think you need to take some time
I think you need to be patient


To show me that your love is true
To demonstrate true love for me


There's more than dollar signs in you
You have more valuable qualities than just money


All that matter's is
The only thing that's important is


That you treat me right
That you treat me with respect and care


Give me all the things I need
Provide me with everything I require


That money can't buy yeah
That money cannot purchase
