Love Don't Cost a Thing
Jennifer Lopez Feat. Fat Joe Lyrics

You think you gotta keep me iced (You don't)
You assume that you need to constantly provide me with materialistic things to keep my love, when in reality that's not what matters.

You think I'm gonna spend your cash (I won't)
You think I'm interested in your money and will spend it frivolously, but I'm not like that.

Even if you were broke My love don't cost a thing
Even if you had no money, my love would still be free and unconditional.

Think I wanna drive your Benz (I don't)
You assume that I want to use your fancy car to impress others, but I have my own standards and don't need a man's possessions to feel valuable.

If I wanna floss I got my own Even if you were broke My love don't cost a thing
If I want to show off or indulge in luxury, I have the means to do it myself. But regardless of circumstances, I won't let material things sway my feelings for someone.

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
When you arrived in a fancy car and gave the keys to the valet, I realized that you were trying to impress me with your wealth. You even tried to show off your expensive watch, but these things don't matter to me.

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
I saw you later in a secluded place, trying to get my attention with a toast. But I sense that you're struggling emotionally and caught up in trying to display your wealth. None of that matters to me.

When I took a chance Thought you'd understand Baby credit cards aren't romance So you're tryna buy what's already yours
When I gave you a chance, I expected you to understand that buying things with credit cards isn't romantic. Instead, you're trying to purchase what I've already given you - love and affection.

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
You can't buy the qualities I need in a relationship, such as honesty and authenticity. I've seen that you're trying too hard and not being true to yourself. Unless you make a positive change, I have to leave. Where are my keys? I need to go.

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
You believe that your wealth can make up for the lack of time and effort you put into our relationship. But the key to my heart is not money, it's genuine connection and understanding. Once you have that, you can truly win 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
I think you need to invest time and effort into showing me that you genuinely care about me. Your worth is not defined by your wealth - there's more to you than dollar signs. Once you prove your love is true, you can have my heart.

A thing, a thing, a thing Yeah, yeah, yeah
This refrain emphasizes that material possessions are not important in a relationship. Love and connection are the true value.
