Next to nothing in our pockets
We didn't need much cash to get by
Felt like more than just surviving
We learned love needs little to thrive

Thrift store art in our apartment
Dressed in mostly hand-me-downs
But love don't always look like diamonds
And you look mighty fine in a floral crown

'Cause loving was easy, living poor
Making memories that money just can't afford
And to some it may seem foolish but to us it's common sense
Maybe living poor makes loving rich

We couldn't buy those big vacations
But wealth can't buy the love we make
And if paradise is in your presence
Then I don't care which road that we take

'Cause loving was easy, living poor
Making memories that money just can't afford
And to some it may seem foolish but to us it's common sense
Maybe living poor makes loving rich

You make me feel like a king
You make it feel like a dream
I don't need glamorous or fancy
I don't need fame or fortune, honey
I just need you, you just need me

'Cause loving is easy, living poor
Making memories that money just can't afford
And to some it may seem foolish but to us it's common sense
Maybe living poor makes loving rich, yeah
Baby, living poor makes loving rich

Makes loving rich, ohh
Makes loving rich, mm
