I, got my G.E.D. with a 2.2,
I couldn't take 4 more in a business school,
Just to spend another 20 in a cubicle,
So I got a summer job cleaning swimming pools.
Then I saw my little angel in a one piece suit,
She had a high class mind and her face was cute,
And for the first time I didn't know what to do,
I said I better start to make the cash,
Love is for the middle class.

If all I had was love,
Would I still be lovely?
If all I gave was love,
Would you give up on me?
But if you measure love in false securities,
I owe you nothin at all,
Don't owe you nothin at all,
Don't need your lovin at all,
Don't owe you nothing at all.
Wee ooh, wee oh, wee oh, wee o, hey!

Your daddy got in trouble with the IRS,
Left your mama with a baby and a pile of debt,
Sent you off to public school with all the rest,
Now you're lookin for a man who can pay the rent.
And for the first time you don't know what to do,
Your head say no but your heart says true,
And every other man just puts you last,
I said I better start to make the cash,
Love is for the middle class.

Oh, I wouldn't mind it if we nickel and we dime it just to be together in the end,
Maybe just a little till we make it to the middle and they're takin half of every cent,
If you find a brother who can take you from the gutter then I get it if you gotta go,
But does he really see you like you know I really see you does he love you with his rebel soul?
Like I can love you baby,
Like I do!

If all I had was love,
Would I still be lovely?
If all I gave was love,
Would you give up on me?
But if you measure love in false securities,
I owe you nothin at all,
Don't owe you nothin at all,
Don't need your lovin at all,
Don't owe you nothin at all,
I owe you nothin at all,
Don't owe you nothin at all,
Don't need your lovin at all,
Don't owe you nothin at all.
Wee ooh, wee oh, wee oh, wee oh, hey!
