Millionaire
Leo Sayer Lyrics

I got your postcard it made me lonely
I received your postcard, which made me feel lonely and missing you.

I'm out of money and no one really cares
I am now broke, and it seems that no one really cares about my situation.

The south of france has sunny weather
The weather in the south of France is warm, bright, and pleasant to visit.

Pretty boats and lots of millionaires
There are beautiful, luxurious boats and many wealthy millionaires in the south of France.

Now you're not coming home
You have decided to stay in the south of France and not come back.

You like the style and you're staying here
You enjoy this lifestyle in the south of France that you want to stay here.

Pretty boys everywhere you go
You encounter attractive, young men wherever you go.

You lead 'em on and then you disappear
You flirt with them and then leave them hanging.

You say you're gonna find a millionaire -- well I wish you luck
You say that you are looking for a wealthy millionaire to be with, and I wish you the best of luck.

And we were never going anywhere -- and now you've had enough
We never had a future together, and now you have had enough with me.

You didn't want to be going broke with a loser like me
You did not want to be financially struggling with someone like me, whom you consider to be a loser.

And you're a girl who's just got to be free
You are the kind of girl who values her freedom and independence.

And I don't think you'll ever be happy chasing a millionaire
I do not believe that finding and chasing after a millionaire will make you happy and satisfied in life.

All the streets are dead without you
The streets feel empty and meaningless without you in my life.

Empty shops and old abandoned cars
The shops and cars look empty and abandoned, mirroring the feeling of emptiness without you.

In saint tropez your man is waiting
In Saint Tropez, where you currently are, there is a man waiting for you.

He comes with diamonds to the hotel bar
He brings expensive diamond gifts to the hotel bar where you soon will meet him.

Now you say you're not going home
You now say that you are not planning to leave the south of France and come back home.

You like the sun and you're staying here
You enjoy the warm and sunny climate in the south of France and have decided to stay here.

He'll ask if you're on your own
The man you met will ask you if you are alone.

You say 'why not' then you both disappear
You answer 'why not' and both of you leave and disappear, most likely going to a romantic rendezvous.

Now you say you've found your millionaire -- oh well I don't care
You tell me that you have indeed found your millionaire, but I do not really care anymore.

Says he's gonna take you everywhere -- I just don't care
He said he will take you anywhere, but it does not matter to me anymore.

I bet he'll let you down
I think that he will disappoint you in the end.

That kinda guy never hangs around
Typically, that kind of guy never stays in one place or relationship for very long.

He's got a girl in every town
He has a girlfriend in every new town he visits or stays, which means he most likely is not serious about you.

And I don't think you'll ever be happy living with a millionaire
I do not believe that living with a millionaire or someone wealthy will make you truly happy in life.

You can go and take your millionaire -- oh I don't want to know
You can go and be with your millionaire, but I prefer not to know about it anymore.

Tell you that I really do not care -- and your life's your own
I want to make it clear that I do not really care about your life anymore and that it is your own doing and decision now.

You see them everywhere you go
You always encounter wealthy, successful men wherever you go.

Chasing the sun in alfa romeos
These men drive expensive, fancy Alfa Romeo sports cars, giving off a sense of luxury and self-importance.

You gotta catch 'em before they get too old
You have to get them before they age and lose their charm.

And I don't think you'll ever be happy chasing a millionaire
I do not think that chasing a millionaire or a high-status man is the way for you to achieve true happiness in life.
