They’re working. I’m working.
Trying to get more than the guy next door.
But I know that my soul will never get rich off of fool’s gold.
They want class, high class, climb that ladder to a high that won’t last.
There’s no end in sight, ‘cuz you can’t see nothing when you don’t got the light.

I’d rather have real than just pretend.
I’d rather have more than a passing trend.
Let the world keep the riches.
I’ve got nothing but nothing to lose.

I’d rather have you, you’re the only one I chose.
I’d rather have you, only you.

They want money. They got money.
A castle of cash, watch it grow as they crash,
into a hole deeper than before.
They’re digging a ditch screaming “More, more, more!”

I’d rather be real than just feel good.
I’d rather give more than what I should.
Sick of living for myself
when there’s everything to lose.

I’d rather have you, you’re the only one I chose.
I’d rather have you, only you.

I’d rather have you, you’re the only one I chose.
I’d rather have you, only you.

Your love is real, not just pretend.
Your love is more than a passing trend.
Your love is real and it’s always good.
Your love is more

I’d rather have you, you’re the only one I chose.
I’d rather have you, only you.

I’d rather have you, you’re the only one I chose.
I’d rather have you, only you.
