The Kind You Can't Afford Lyrics - Standing On The Rooftop - Madeleine Peyroux

You got palatial mansions 

I got a rented flat 

You got Persian kittens 

I got tabby cat 

You got art collections 

I got comic books 

You use plastic surgery 

I stay the way I look 

You travel private jet 

I stand by overnight 

You romance with chandeliers 

And I use candlelight 

Oh, there's one thing I got more 

When I'm rich, you're poor 

Is that real good loving 

The kind you can't afford

While you're enjoying banquets 

I'm eating café snacks 

You're in designer clothing 

I'm in plastic Macs 

Sipping on Napoleon Brandy 

I'm slinging a can of beer 

Packing matching luggage 

I'm mostly staying here 

Your educated accent 

Might beat the local slang 

Don't bet your staff and the servants 

Against my backstreet gang 

'Cause there's one thing I got more 

When I'm rich, you're poor 

Is that real good loving 

The kind you can't afford 

Photos 

Your dinner jackets and your ballroom gowns 

No warmer than my jeans 

Caviar 

No more filling than a can of beans 

Go to your classic concert 

I'll be with a local band 

You'll get brand new everything 

I'll keep my second hand 

Ain't no new fitted bathroom 

Got my water tap 

You think I'm full of envy? 

I know where the money's at 

Oh, there's one thing I got more 

When I'm rich, you're poor 

Is that real good loving 

The kind you can't afford 

It's the kind you 

It's the kind you can't afford 

It's the kind 

It's the kind you can't afford 

You got palatial mansions 

I got rented flat 

Persian kittens 

I got a tabby cat 

Cruising in a new Mercedes 

I'm broke down in a Ford 

You're out on your new yacht 

I'm out on my surfing board 

Ooh, surfing board
