Guess that's why.
Guess that’s why.



If I were a billionaire

I know just what I’d do

I wouldn’t buy a car or yaht

For me, or for you



If I were a billionaire,

With money piled high

I wouldn’t buy a mansion

Or an airplane for the sky



If I were only rich,

I’d leave without a will

And run so far away

To a house placed on a hill

Overlooking a sun kissed bay…



If I were a trillionaire

I wouldn’t spend for you

I wouldn’t buy jewelry or clothes

I know just what I’d do



If I were a trillionaire

With cash lining the sky

I wouldn’t buy stocks or bonds

Or pills to get me high



If I were only rich,

I’d leave without a will

And run so far away

To a house placed on a hill

Overlooking a sun kissed bay



Somewhere without the pain of life

Somewhere without my friends

I’d never be some random’s wife

I’d go where inner peace has no end

If I were only rich



I’d  write and write all day

I’d live without temptation

I’d live without hesitation

I’d be happy everyday



If I were a millionaire

So much I would do,

I’d find the person I could be

I wouldn’t need him or you,



If I were a millionaire

I  wouldn’t need to get high

I wouldn’t want to kill myself

To fly up to the sky…



If I were only rich,

I’d leave without a will

And run so far away

To a house placed on a hill

Overlooking a sun kissed bay



Somewhere without the pain of life

Somewhere without my friends

I’d never be some random’s wife

I’d go where inner peace has no end

If I were only rich



I’d  write and write all day

I’d live without temptation

I’d live without hesitation

I’d be happy everyday



If I was a thousandnaire

I wouldn’t tell you

I’d run far away to Maine

Yeah that’s just what I’d do



If I was a thousandnaire

I’d catch a flight through the Sky

And I wouldn’t tell them goodbye

Nor would I tell you Hi…



If I were only rich,

I’d leave without a will

And run so far away

To a house placed on a hill

Overlooking a sun kissed bay



Somewhere without the pain of life

Somewhere without my friends

I’d never be some random’s wife

I’d go where inner peace has no end

If I were only rich



I’d  write and write all day

I’d live without temptation

I’d live without hesitation

I’d be happy everyday



I am a hundrednaire

I don’t know what to do

I’m surrounded by people

I cant ever just say ‘screw you’



I am a hundrednaire

I wish I could smile without getting High

I’m tired of crying, of starbucks, of life

I wish so much I could enter the Sky….

 

If I were rich

You’d never see me

If I were rich

He’d never meet me

If I were rich

I would never change

If I were rich

I wouldn’t want to change



I guess that’s why

I’m not a millionaire…
