You Can't Buy Love

Verse 1

You look so good in silk and lace

Diamond rings all around that pretty face

A long limousine with chauffeur at your beck and call

You never have to wait in line

For anything and everything you find

It's so easy when you're livin' life with money tall

Pre-Chorus

But you can buy another dress

To cover up your loneliness

Nothing less can satisfy

That empty look within your eyes

You can't buy love

Verse 2

You walk around with such a cool reserve

Treat everyone like they don't even deserve

To breathe the same air, but you've never tasted real desire

You play around with people like a game

Treat 'em all the same, so they all end up feeling lame

You think you're hot, but you're just ice upon the fire

Pre-Chorus

But your diamonds and your pearls

Don't mean much in this real world

There's one thing that you'll never learn

That true affection must be earned

You can't buy love

Chorus

We're just the same under the skin

You can't hide what's hidden deep within

You can dress up and look so high class

But if you're not satisfied

Your expensive dreams will all pass by

Verse 3

It's a long way down from where you are

When you realize just how lonely it gets in that big car

You're cruising down the highway of despair

You've spent your whole life building up a wall

To keep you safe in case you ever fall

But it's too late, you're trapped inside and no one cares

Pre-Chorus

You look for love in all the places

In the eyes of all the faces

But you'll never find the key

To unlock your misery

You can't buy love

Chorus

We're just the same under the skin

You can't hide what's hidden deep within

You can dress up and look so high class

But if you're not satisfied

Your expensive dreams will all pass by

Bridge

You can't hide from yourself forever

No matter how much cash you own

True love's a prize you get for effort

Not something you can buy alone

Chorus

We're just the same under the skin

You can't hide what's hidden deep within

You can dress up and look so high class

But if you're not satisfied

Your expensive dreams will all pass by

Outro

You can dress up and look so high class

But if you're not satisfied

You'll never know how good love can feel

You can dress up and look so high class

But if your heart is not sincere

You'll find out that your dreams are not real

You can't buy love
