Bottles & Cans Lyrics - Mahogany Soul - Angie Stone

Everybody wants some type of success in life 

Like every woman wants to one day be a wife 

Your success is measured, but to a degree 

Cause all the money in the world don't add up to you and me 

[Chorus] 

I'd rather be pickin' up bottles and cans 

If you can't be my man 

I'd rather be homeless in the streets 

With no food to eat 

I'd rather be facing twenty to life 

If I can't be your wife 

Now I know that it seems like I'm crazy for you 

That's what love can do 

Look at what you started, there's no way this can end 

Because I've fallin in love with how deeply I've fallin 

If anything should ever stand in our way 

I wouldn't wait 'till tomorrow, but I'd throw it away today 

[Chorus] 

I'd rather be pickin' up bottles and cans 

Pickin' up cans baby, oh yeah yeah 

I'd rather be homeless in the streets with no food to eat 

I'd rather be facing twenty to life 

Now I know that it seems like I'm crazy for you 

That's what love can do 

It just ain't money (Without) 

There is no home (Without you) 

It's no crime, baby (Without) 

Who is everyone (Without you) 

It's no career (Without) 

It's not sincere (Without you) 

These diamonds don't shine (Without) 

Whoa (That's what love can do)
