I emptied out my pockets
that's when he looked at me
puzzled by the crumpled papers ticked stubs and keys
he wondered where my money was
I asked "Why did it matter?"
(You see) I don't socialized with guys
who get served from a silver platter
well maybe he is poor like me
and debonair just for the night
that's when I spied the roll of his eyes
I looked again and he was out of my sight
(How many times, how many times) must I prove myself
(How many times, how many times) am I valued by my wealth
Chorus:
A rich girl is your desire
A rich girl would set your heart on fire
Which girl is it gonna be?
Cuz a rich girl just isn't me - no, not me
I met up with a real jet-setter
he tried to whisk me off my feet
I knew I could do much better
when he asked about my money
you may find your pride in hard cash, baby
but your missing a major part
You'll have no one to spend it on
if you're sitting on a cold, cold heart
you're looking real trim, I bet you go to the gym
working out in a tie and collar
you gotta stay true, do what you gotta do
bow down to the almighty dollar
that's when he looked at me
puzzled by the crumpled papers ticked stubs and keys
he wondered where my money was
I asked "Why did it matter?"
(You see) I don't socialized with guys
who get served from a silver platter
well maybe he is poor like me
and debonair just for the night
that's when I spied the roll of his eyes
I looked again and he was out of my sight
(How many times, how many times) must I prove myself
(How many times, how many times) am I valued by my wealth
Chorus:
A rich girl is your desire
A rich girl would set your heart on fire
Which girl is it gonna be?
Cuz a rich girl just isn't me - no, not me
I met up with a real jet-setter
he tried to whisk me off my feet
I knew I could do much better
when he asked about my money
you may find your pride in hard cash, baby
but your missing a major part
You'll have no one to spend it on
if you're sitting on a cold, cold heart
you're looking real trim, I bet you go to the gym
working out in a tie and collar
you gotta stay true, do what you gotta do
bow down to the almighty dollar
