you always got me wrong

you don't need love cause you got money
and you can go buy any girl's honey
if that's what you wanted all along
I never cared for diamond rings
or any of those superficial things
the truth is that you always got me wrong

just because I'm poor as dirt
doesn't mean that I'm out for gold
you never cared if my feelings hurt
you only trusted what you've been told
if your best friends never met me
how could they know my intent
I'm not quite sure to what degree
they chose to misrepresent

you don't need love cause you got money
and you can go buy any girl's honey
if that's what you wanted all along
I never cared for diamond rings
or any of those superficial things
the truth is that you always got me wrong

they told you love cannot be true
that my motives were suspect
but it's making me feel so blue
and it's not my place to correct
the errors trapped in your own mind
regarding my true goal
so now I'm tired of being kind
to a man without a soul

you don't need love cause you got money
and you can go buy any girl's honey
if that's what you wanted all along
I never cared for diamond rings
or any of those superficial things
the truth is that you always got me wrong
