If I Had One Dollar
Story Untold Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My girl likes bein' lazy
And she don't work for nothing

She likes to call her friends up
and just talk trash about me

And I know I'm not perfect
I do what I can
I've got my guitar and my dreams and a plan
She's always complaining
That I'm wasting my time
That I'm out of my mind

She says I'm sick in the head
And I'm better off dead
I'd be rich if I had one dollar
Everytime she says
I'm a loser a punk with no future well
I've got news for you
You think I'm sick in the head
Well maybe that's true
Or maybe I'm just sick of you

When I go out with my friends
She's always on my case
And when I'm watching the game
She's all up in my face

And she's playing the field
But she's not on the team
Acting the part but it's not what it seems

She's constantly saying
That I'm wasting my time
That I'm out of my mind

She says I'm sick in the head
And I'm better off dead
I'd be rich if I had one dollar
Everytime she says
I'm a loser a punk with no future well
I've got news for you
You think I'm sick in the head
Well maybe that's true
Or maybe I'm just sick of you

It's always business doing pleasure with you
We used to be so money
But now we're through
So say whatever cause
This ain't forever or ever

She says I'm sick in the head
And I'm better off dead
I'd be rich if I had one dollar
Everytime she says
I'm a loser a punk with no future well
I've got news for you
She says I'm sick in the head
And I'm better off dead
I'd be rich if I had one dollar
Everytime she says
I'm a loser a punk with no future well
I've got news for you
You think I'm sick in the head




Well maybe that's true
Or maybe I'm just sick of you.

My girl likes bein' lazy
My girlfriend is fond of being inactive


And she don't work for nothing
And she doesn't do any work without payment


She likes to call her friends up
She enjoys ringing up her friends


and just talk trash about me
And talking terrible things about me is her favorite pastime


And I know I'm not perfect
I'm aware that I'm not flawless


I do what I can
I do whatever is at my disposal


I've got my guitar and my dreams and a plan
I have my music, dreams, and a plan to make it big


She's always complaining
She is continually grumbling


That I'm wasting my time
That I'm squandering my time


That I'm out of my mind
That I've lost my mind


She says I'm sick in the head
She claims that there's something wrong with my mind


And I'm better off dead
And that I'm better off dead


I'd be rich if I had one dollar
I would be wealthy if I had a dollar every time she said that


Everytime she says
Each time she says


I'm a loser a punk with no future well
That I'm a hopeless loser with no future, well,


I've got news for you
I have some news for you


You think I'm sick in the head
You believe that I've lost my mind


Well maybe that's true
Well, perhaps it's accurate


Or maybe I'm just sick of you
Or maybe I'm just weary of you


When I go out with my friends
When I'm out with my buddies


She's always on my case
She's perpetually nagging me


And when I'm watching the game
And when I'm watching sports


She's all up in my face
She's always right in my face


And she's playing the field
She's dating around


But she's not on the team
She isn't on any team


Acting the part but it's not what it seems
Playing a role, but it isn't what it appears to be


It's always business doing pleasure with you
It's always professional with you, no fun involved


We used to be so money
We used to be fantastic


But now we're through
But now we're over


So say whatever cause
So say whatever you want, because


This ain't forever or ever
This is neither lasting nor infinite


She says I'm sick in the head
She says that there is something wrong with my brain


And I'm better off dead
And I'd be better off dead


I'd be rich if I had one dollar
I would be very wealthy if I had a dollar for every time she said that


Everytime she says
Each time she says


I'm a loser a punk with no future well
That I'm a hopeless loser with no future well,


I've got news for you
I have some news for you

She claims that there's something wrong with my mind


And I'm better off dead
And that I'm better off dead

Everytime she says
Each time she says


I'm a loser a punk with no future well

Well, perhaps it's accurate


Or maybe I'm just sick of you
Or maybe I'm just weary of you

Hanneke

Been stalking these guys for almost two years now, and it's crazy to see how much they've progressed. The new members really brought something special to this already amazing band ❤️

TukyChannel

I think that this song could be a top hit in the future, it's amazing! XD

B090 0223

Lol. A song can't be a hit unless it buys a top 40 slot. Hits are chosen by a dollar sign and not actual talent.

All Time Low + Simple Plan = Story Untold

Scsigs

Yep. Now, if only they could throw some Green Day in there.

Tasha

Sometimes his voice does sound like billie. Check out his covers at his channel. Janick Thibault is his name

Scsigs

StitchedMouth Me I know who he is & no it doesn't. There's too much like Alex Gaskarth in there. No room for Billie Joe

Dan Khayog
