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

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



[1] - 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, but how deep did i fall in

If anything should ever stand in our way

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



[repeat 1]



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)
