All I ever wanted was to get away
And spend some time alone
To a big house in the country
To a private yacht with Wall St. on the phone
And in a million dollar paradise
Maybe I could sing a better song
But I`ve found something different now
And I finally understand
That money gets you everything
But it slips straight through your hands
And it`s love that makes the world go round
And it`s nationwide from town to town
It gets you coming up and going down
And it makes everything alright
I`d give you everything and that`s a start
To get next to you and the keys to your heart
There`s something going on here
Something going on behind your eyes
You got me feeling kind of nervous
With that Mona Lisa smile
And maybe I could get a steady job
Bring home the bacon 9 to 5
See I`d do anything to win you
Anything at all, I`ve got my cards
Down on the table, baby
We could have a ball!
Chorus
There was a time when I believed
That I`d be Ok
Living by myself
Then I laid eyes on you
And I believe that I became somebody else
Now I believe... yeah! yeah! yeah!
