lyrics

You don't need
and
I don't have
So let me stop pretending I do

Acting like I'm ballin
When my bank account is fallin
Well ain't that a fine howdoyado?

You don't need
and
I don't have
I'm in the red but also quite blue

Let me take care of what little I got
Baby you can take care of you

I like to show the best of me
The east and the west of me
But when I open my mouth
It all goes south
And that's of course when my ego goes north

So let me stop the yapping and
All the gum flapping
Acting like I live on 5th Ave

We may never meet on the easiest street
But baby you don't need and I don't have

I like to show the best of me
The east and the west of me
But when I open my mouth
It all goes south
And that's of courth when my ego goes north

So let me stop the yapping and
All the gum flapping
You know what? I can walk, why don't you take the cab?

I'll be fine once my pride gets in line
You don't need and I don't have
(that may change)
You don't need and I don't have
(can you spare some change?)
You don't need
and
I don't have
