I got my G.E.D with a 2.2
I couldn't take four more in a business school
Just to spend another 20 in a cubicle

So I got a summer job cleaning swimming pools
I saw my little angel in a one peice suit
She had a high class mind and her face was cute

For the first time I didn't know what to do
I said, "I'd better start to make the cash,
Love is for the middle class"


If all I had was love, would I still be lovely
I all I gave was love, would you give up on me

But if you measure love in false securities
I owe you nothin' at all
Don't owe you nothin' at all

Don't need your lovin' at all
Don't owe you nothin' at all
Hey


Your daddy got in trouble with the I.R.S
Left your moma with a baby and a pile of debt

Sent you off to public school with all the rest
Now you're lookin for a man who can pay the rent
For the first time you don't know what to do

Your head say no
But your heart says true
When every other man just outs you last

I said, "I'd better make the cash,
Love is for the middle class"


If all I had was love, would I still be lovely
I all I gave was love, would you give up on me
But if you measure love in false securities

I owe you nothin' at all
Don't owe you nothin' at all
Don't need your lovin' at all

Don't owe you nothin' at all
Hey


Oh, I wouldn't mind it if we nickle and we dime it
Just to be together in the end
Maybe just a little till we make it to the middle

And they're takin' half of every cent
If you can find a brother that can take you from the gutter
Than I get if you gotta go

But does he relly see you like you know I really see you
Does he love you with his rebel soul
Like I can love you baby

Like I do

I said, "I'd better make the cash,

Love is for the middle class"
I said, "I'd better make the cash,
Love is for the middle class"


If all I had was love, would I still be lovely
I all I gave was love, would you give up on me

But if you measure love in false securities
I owe you nothin' at all
Don't owe you nothin' at all

Don't need your lovin' at all
Don't owe you nothin' at all
I owe you nothin' at all

Don't owe you nothin' at all
Don't need your lovin' at all
Don't owe you nothin' at all

Hey
