LyricsThe Kind You Can’t Afford

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 lovin'

the kind you can't afford

While you're enjoyin' banquets

I'm eatin' cafe snacks

You're in designer clothing

I'm in plastic Macs

Sippin' on Napoleon Brandy

I'm slingin' a can of beer

Packin' matchin' luggage

I'm mostly stayin' here

Your educated accent

might beat the local slang

I'll 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 lovin'

the kind you can't afford

Your dinner jackets

and your ballroom gowns

no warmer than my jeans

Caviar

no more fillin' than

a can of beans

Go to your classic concert

I'll be with a local band

Keep your brand new

everythin'

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 lovin'

the kind you can't afford

It's the kind

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

Cruisin' in a Mercedes

I'm broke down in a Ford

You're out on your yacht

I'm out on my surfing board
