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 cafe 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
