lyrics

I saw the leaves fall outside your door,
Your marble steps eclipsed my humble marigolds.
I'd stayed up past midnight to pen you the perfect verse,
But when you're lying through your teeth, each stanza sounds rehearsed,
So these store-bought endearments that I splurged on today
May speak of endless love but really they should say,

"It's not your eyes,
It's not your button nose,
It's not your smile that I've been thinking of,
And Lord knows, it's not your heart,
It's your money, honey, that I love,
So leave your credit cards and go."

On our third night in Paris, I almost let it slip,
That your charms are not the reason we're soldered at the hip,
Six glasses of Clinet led to one moment of shame,
And my first honest response made you question every claim,

That it's your eyes,
That it's your button nose,
That it's your smile that I've been thinking of,
Cause Lord knows, it ends where it starts,
It's your money, honey that I heart.

So take those credit cards
And leave them on the bedside table,
You won't need them,
There may be cheaper men on the block,
But they'll want more from your lips than just talk,
Only I can keep you untouched and pure.

It's not your style,
It's not your razor wit,
It's not your wiles,
(No, those don't even make the list)
And Lord knows, it's not your kiss,
It's your purse strings, darling, that I'll miss,
If you take those credit cards and go...
