They say money talks
Well baby, tonight — I listen
Silk on my shoulders, neon in my eyes
Coins in his pocket, hunger in his smile
He buys me dreams in a glass of gold
Says, “Girl, you shine brighter than what I hold”
I learned young — love ain't free
Diamonds whisper louder than promises to me
Gold on the table, fire in his hand
He wants my heart, I want to stand
Tall in these heels, hear the cash hit the floor
If love’s a game, I learned the score
(Mmm… yeah)
Lipstick prayers in a backroom bar
He calls me treasure, like I’m his lucky card
But I read the truth in the way he pays
Every kiss got interest, every night got a rate
Mama said, “Baby, count the cost”
A sweet man’s smile can be easily lost
Gold on the table, fire in his hand
He wants my soul, I want my land
I sway, I smile, but I keep my core
I’ve been bought once — nevermore
He says “Love” — I say “Show me”
He says “Forever” — I say “Own me?”
Gold on the table, truth in my eyes
I’m worth more than your alibis
I walk away rich, not alone, not poor
In golden heels — I close the door
Money fades…
But a woman who knows her price?
She don’t
