I don't want your lonely mansion with a tear in every room.

But you think I should be happy with your money and your name.
 7    7   7  7  -6  6  5    5    6   -6    6   -5  -4    4
And hide myself in sorrow while you play your cheating game.

You can't buy my love with money for I never was that kind.
