Scouting for Girls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Forget what they say cause I know they ain't right
All that I need is you
It is you it is you it is you
A walk in the park, a kiss in the dark
The way she looks back every time that we part
All that I need is you
We could be broke
But I couldn't care
'Cause I've got it all
When you're standing there
You make me feel
Like I'm a millionaire
The moment I set my eyes on you girl
I'm like the richest guy in the world
You make me feel
Like I'm a millionaire
Maybe I'm blased, but you're just the finest
Girl that I've met I think you're priceless
All that I need is you
It is you it is you it is you
I'm not going to lie the money'd be nice
'Cause I could take you out every night
I'd spend it all on you
It is you it is you it is you
We could be broke
But I couldn't care
'Cause I've got it all
When you're standing there
'Cause you make me feel
Like I'm a millionaire
The moment I set my eyes on you girl
I'm like the richest guy in the world
You make me feel
Like I'm a millionaire
If money gets tight I'll be alright
As long as you're there, there by my side
'Cause you make me feel
Like a millionaire
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
We could be broke
But I couldn't care
Cause I've got it all
When you're standing there
'Cause you make me feel
Like I'm a millionaire
The moment I set my eyes on you girl
I'm like the richest guy in the world
You make me feel
Like a millionaire
The song "Millionaire" by Scouting for Girls is an ode to love in which the singer is expressing the notion that the best things in life do not come with a price. He dismisses anyone who claims that money can buy happiness or that material possessions can replace human connections, and declares that everything he needs is embodied in his love interest. He enumerates some of the simple things in life that bring him joy, such as a walk in the park or a kiss in the dark, and how his significant other's mere presence can make him feel like the wealthiest man in the world.

The song's message is heartwarming and relatable, as many people have been in situations where they have felt rich beyond measure simply because of the presence and love of someone special. The catchy chorus and upbeat melody add to the song's appeal, making it an enjoyable and memorable listen. Overall, "Millionaire" is a song that celebrates the importance of love and connection in our lives, reminding us that true wealth lies not in material possessions but in the relationships we cultivate.
