Love Don't Cost a Thing
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
This song by Jennifer Lopez, Love Don't Cost a Thing, is an empowering and self-respecting anthem for women who refuse to be bought with money or material things. It talks about a woman who doesn't care about what her partner has or doesn't have, as long as he treats her right - with love, respect, and appreciation. The lyrics talk about a man who tries to impress her with his material possessions, but the woman doesn't fall for his shallow tactics. She strengthens her resolve with each verse, finally concluding that her love is priceless and cannot be bought with any amount of money.
The opening lines of the song set the tone for the rest of it. The woman tells her partner that he doesn't have to spend money on her and that she won't be impressed by his material possessions. She makes it clear that what she needs from him are intangible things that cannot be bought with money, like love, respect, attention, and appreciation. The second verse describes a scenario where the man tries to impress the woman with his luxury car and expensive watch, but she remains unimpressed. She recognizes his shallow attempts to impress her and realizes that his material possessions do not define him or their relationship.
The final verses of the song are a message to all men to take a step back and focus on the things that really matter. Money cannot buy love, and material possessions cannot replace the genuine connection that two people share. The woman urges her partner to take time to get to know her, understand her, treat her right, and win her heart with their genuine connection. In essence, the song advises men not to approach relationships as a transaction.

When you rolled up in the Escalade
When you arrived in your fancy car.
Saw that dub you gave to the valet
I noticed the large tip you gave the valet.
Knew that it was game when you looked at me
I realized that you were trying to impress me.
Pulling up your sleeve so I could see the Rollie bling
You showed off your expensive Rolex watch.
Saw you later in the corner booth
I spotted you in a private seating area in the restaurant.
Raising up a toast, so I would notice you
You lifted your drink to get my attention.
But you're hard to miss
You cannot be overlooked.
Think you oughta know
You should be aware.
Doesn't matter if you're balling out of control
It doesn't matter how wealthy you are.
When I took a chance
When I gave you a chance.
Thought you'd understand
I believed you would comprehend.
Baby, credit cards aren't romance
Using credit cards to impress me is not romantic.
Still you're tryna buy what's already yours
You're attempting to purchase what you already have.
What I need from you is not available in stores
What I require from you cannot be bought in a store.
Seen a side of you that I really feel
I have observed a part of you that I can relate to.
Doing way too much, never keep it real
You're trying too hard and not being truthful.
If it doesn't change, gotta hit the road
If you don't change your behavior, I have to leave.
Now I'm leaving, where's my keys?
I'm leaving, and I need my car keys.
I've got to go
I need to leave now.
You think the money that you make
You believe that your income defines you.
Can substitute the time you take
You think you can buy my affection with money.
To get the keys into my heart
To win my love.
Then you can win my heart, don't know what's in my heart
If you truly win my love, you wouldn't be unsure of my feelings.
I think you need to take some time
I believe you need to spend time with me to understand.
To show me that your love is true
To prove that your love is genuine.
There's more than dollar signs in you
You have more to offer than just money.
Think you gotta keep me iced, you don't
You don't have to impress me with your wealth.
If I wanna floss, I got my own
I can show off with my own belongings, if I want to.
A thing, a thing
Nothing, no particular thing.

Crees que me mantendrás congelada
No lo harás
Crees que gastaré tu dinero
No lo haré
Incluso si estuvieras en la quiebra
Mi amor no cuesta nada
Crees que quiero manejar tu Benz
No lo haré
Si quiero divertirme tengo el mío
Incluso si estuvieras en la quiebra
Mi amor no cuesta nada
Cuando diste la vuelta en la Escalade
Vi el doblez que le diste al valet
Sabía que era un juego cuando me miraste
Subiéndote la manga para que pudiera ver el Rolex brillar
Te vi más tarde en el puesto de la esquina
Haciendo un brindis para que pudiera notarte
Pero es díficil perderte de vista
Creo que deberías saber
No importa si estás fuera de control
Todo lo que importa es
Que me trates bien
Dame todas las cosas que necesito
Que el dinero no puede comprar
Crees que me mantendrás congelada
No lo harás
Crees que gastaré tu dinero
No lo haré
Incluso si estuvieras en la quiebra
Mi amor no cuesta nada
Crees que quiero manejar tu Benz
No lo haré
Si quiero divertirme tengo el mío
Incluso si estuvieras en la quiebra
Mi amor no cuesta nada
Cuando tomé la oportunidad
Creí que entenderías
Cariño, las tarjetas de créditos no son romance
Sigues tratando de comprar lo que ya es tuyo
Lo que necesito de ti no está disponible en las tiendas
He visto un lado de ti que realmente siento
Intentándolo mucho, nunca se mantuvo real
Si eso no cambia, golpeará el camino
Ahora me estoy yendo, ¿dónde están mis llaves?
Tengo que irme
Todo lo que importa es
Que me trates bien
Dame todas las cosas que necesito
Que el dinero no puede comprar
Crees que me mantendrás congelada
No lo harás
Crees que gastaré tu dinero
No lo haré
Incluso si estuvieras en la quiebra
Mi amor no cuesta nada
Crees que quiero manejar tu Benz
No lo haré
Si quiero divertirme tengo el mío
Incluso si estuvieras en la quiebra
Mi amor no cuesta nada
Nada, nada, nada
Sí, sí, sí
Crees que el dinero que ganas
Puede sustituir el tiempo que tomaste
Toma las llaves aquí a mi corazón
Entonces podrás ganar mi corazón, y obtener lo que está en mi corazón
Creo que necesitas tomarte un tiempo
Para mostrarme que tu amor es real
Que hay más que signos de dólar en ti
Entonces podrás ganar mi corazón, y obtener lo que está en mi corazón
Crees que me mantendrás congelada
No lo harás
Crees que gastaré tu dinero
No lo haré
Incluso si estuvieras en la quiebra
Mi amor no cuesta nada
Crees que quiero manejar tu Benz
No lo haré
Si quiero divertirme tengo el mío
Incluso si estuvieras en la quiebra
Mi amor no cuesta nada
Crees que me mantendrás congelada
No lo harás
Crees que gastaré tu dinero
No lo haré
Incluso si estuvieras en la quiebra
Mi amor no cuesta nada
Crees que quiero manejar tu Benz
No lo haré
Si quiero divertirme tengo el mío
Incluso si estuvieras en la quiebra
Mi amor no cuesta nada
Crees que me mantendrás congelada
No lo harás
Crees que gastaré tu dinero
No lo haré
Incluso si estuvieras en la quiebra
Mi amor no cuesta nada
Crees que quiero manejar tu Benz
No lo haré
Si quiero divertirme tengo el mío
Incluso si estuvieras en la quiebra
Mi amor no cuesta nada. ❤
