Fitz and The Tantrums
Rich Girls
[Verse 1]
Suzie came wealthy family raised
Went to college, all her debts were paid
Got a job down in Soho
Her daddy said don't date him, he got no dough
She had the doorman, elevator
Penthouse alligator shoes
And a driver that took her to school
She got no need for any man
Even if you got a plan
You'd always end up playin' the fool
[Pre-Chorus]
I was dreamin' of a perfect love
But then I woke up to find
Truth comes crashing down
Don't matter what you do
[Chorus]
'Cause the rich girls will break your heart
The poor girls will take your money
I confess and I repent for the things I've done
My soul is spent
On rich girls
And poor girls
[Verse 2]
Shonie came from a broken home
Her mama sick and her daddy's long gone
Got a job but it don't pay no bread
Lookin' for a man who's well-fed
She got the low-rent underground
The padlock studio blues
And the bus fare to take her to school
She sure needs a steady man
Always got a perfect plan
For you to pay up for playin' the fool
[Pre-Chorus]
I was dreaming of a perfect love
But then I woke up to find
Truth comes crashing down
Don't matter what you do
[Chorus]
'Cause the rich girls will break your heart
The poor girls take your money
I confess and I repent for the things I've done
My soul is spent
On rich girls will break your heart
And poor girls will take your money
I confess and I repent for the things I've done
My soul is spent
On rich girls
[Outro]
Don't need no rich girls
Don't need no poor girls, whoa
Don't need no rich girls, oh
Don't need no poor girls, oh oh oh oh girl
