I've been counting pennies
Most of my life
Been spending a life time
Rubbing nickels into dimes
Holding onto bills
Like they're the last ones I'll ever hold
Now I've got this girl who drives to Target
In the rush hour traffic
Doesn't seem to mind
All the gas that she's burning at the red lights
On that 20 minute 3 mile drive
Suddenly spending 14 dollars
On a 7 dollar coffee
Seems pretty cheap
Yea it seems alright with me
And I'd wait hours
In a drive through line
If it means
I was the reason my girl smiled
Every time I try to sit her down
To talk about our finances
She says,
"Honey if I know one thing
This money
It don't follow you to Heaven
So you might as well spend it all right now."
Oh she's got this funny
Funny way of talking
That makes me forget
All of my reason and my logic
And I'd spend all my hard earned money
Just to hear some more
Suddenly spending 14 dollars
On a seven dollar coffee
Seems pretty cheap
Yea it seems alright with me
And I'd wait hours
In a drive through line
If it means
I was the reason my girl smiled
Ooh
The things I do for love
Ooh
The money I've spent on my love
Suddenly spending 14 dollars
On a 7 dollar coffee
Seems pretty cheap
Yea it seems alright with me
And I'd wait hours
In a drive through line
If it means
I was the reason my girl smiled
