You were fool’s gold from the start
Said I was your diamond in the dark
See I believed your little lies
‘Til that day I had lunch with your wife
Well I guess I ain’t got the Midas Touch
No I can’t fix your fool’s gold heart 

If love is money
I’m all spent
My heart is my own
It’s not up for rent
I’m off the market now
I’m finally free
If love is money
I’m banking on me
(If love is money then you can’t afford me)

In a lineup of my exes
I’m starting to see the common thread
Yeah I gave the give they took the take
Yeah I wanted the real thing ‘n put up with fake
When there’s only one heart to mend
There’s only one way this can end 

If love is money
I’m all spent
My heart is my own
It’s not up for rent
I’m off the market
I’m finally free
If love is money
I’m banking on me
(If love is money then you can’t afford me) 

See I’m twenty-four carat gold
Give platinum lovin’ outta this world
No more playing small
This girl’s gonna have the richest love of all

If love is money
I’m all spent
My heart is my own
It’s not up for rent
I’m off the market
I’m finally free
If love is money
I’m banking on me

If love is money
I’m all spent
My heart is my own
It’s not up for rent
I’m off the market
I’m finally free
If love is money
I’m banking on me
(If love is money then you can’t afford me)
