Tell it like it is! A man thinks he has everything yet his woman tells him he's poor (In love)

Lyrics

Verse 1

Silver spoons in the kitchen drawer

Brand new boots on the marble floor

Every birthday cake, a chandelier

But you’re missing what’s right here

All your friends circle round your fire

Diamond-laced with quiet desires

Laughter faded as the night rolls through

Never fills the space you knew

Pre-Chorus

All the gifts beneath your tree

Never close the ache in me

Rooms so wide, halls so long

Still no place where hearts belong

Chorus

Daddy and Mama are rich

You were born with everything

But truth be told you're broke

When it comes to love

Ooh, your dirt poor broke forever

When it comes to knowing and living love

Post-Chorus

Ooh, ooh, dirt poor broke

Ooh, ooh, when it comes to love

Verse 2

You count your gold at sunrise

But your bed is cold each night

No treasure in your blue eyes

Can't buy warmth, can't make it right

Pre-Chorus

All the dollars in your palm

Can't buy what the heart wants

Empty hands in my arms

You still don't belong

Chorus

Daddy and Mama are rich

You were born with everything

But truth be told you're broke

When it comes to love

Ooh, your dirt poor broke forever

When it comes to knowing and living love

Post-Chorus

Ooh, ooh, dirt poor broke

Ooh, ooh, when it comes to love

Bridge

Money stacks can't fill your soul

Holding tight but letting go

You're chasing all that glitters on the road

But lonely is the price you've sown

Verse 3

Took a drive outside of town

Summer breeze and windows down

You said you long for something real

But nothing's close to how I feel

Pre-Chorus

Every gift wrapped up in gold

Still leaves your heart alone

You keep searching, but it's clear

What you need is right here

Chorus

Daddy and Mama are rich

You were born with everything

But truth be told you're broke

When it comes to love

Ooh, your dirt poor broke forever

When it comes to knowing and living love

Post-Chorus

Ooh, ooh, dirt poor broke

Ooh, ooh, when it comes to love

Ooh, ooh, dirt poor broke

Ooh, ooh, when it comes to love
