paroles de chanson The Kind You Can't Afford - Madeleine Peyroux

You got palatial mansions
I got a rented flat
You got Persian kittens
I got tabby cat

You got art collections
I got comic books
You use plastic surgery
I stay the way I look

You travel private jet
I stand by overnight
You romance with chandeliers
And I use candlelight

Oh, there′s one thing I got more
When I'm rich, you′re poor
Is that real good loving
The kind you can't afford

While you're enjoying banquets
I′m eating café snacks
You′re in designer clothing
I'm in plastic Macs

Sipping on Napoleon Brandy
I′m slinging a can of beer
Packing matching luggage
I'm mostly staying here

Your educated accent
Might beat the local slang
Don′t bet your staff and the servants
Against my backstreet gang

'Cause there′s one thing I got more
When I'm rich, you're poor
Is that real good loving
The kind you can′t afford

Your dinner jackets and your ballroom gowns
No warmer than my jeans
Caviar
No more filling than a can of beans

Go to your classic concert
I′ll be with a local band
You'll get brand new everything
I′ll keep my second hand

Ain't no new fitted bathroom
Got my water tap
You think I′m full of envy?
I know where the money's at

Oh, there′s one thing I got more
When I'm rich, you're poor
Is that real good loving
The kind you can′t afford

It′s the kind you
It's the kind you can′t afford
It's the kind
It′s the kind you can't afford

You got palatial mansions
I got rented flat
Persian kittens
I got a tabby cat

Cruising in a new Mercedes
I′m broke down in a Ford
You're out on your new yacht
I'm out on my surfing board
Ooh, surfing board
