Everything But The Girl (ebtg) - Are You Trying To Be Funny? lyrics

Let him spend all his money on you Ease the guilt of the things he won't do For he believes there's no such thing as greed A yearly payment is all that you need In poverty may your goodness prevail While your vaulting ambitions fail A rick man sticks in heaven's door But you my love will live happy for ever more So naturally he sends you no more than this Lest he ruin your chance for eternal bliss What d'you mean you need love not money? You expect to live in a land of milk and honey Let him send his money to you Ease the guilt of the things he won't do A rick man sticks in heaven's door But you my love will live happy for ever more So naturally he sends you no more than this Lest he ruin your chance for eternal bliss What d'you mean you need love not money? You expect to live in a land of milk and honey He can spare just a little to see you right Even he has a conscience that cries at night "May the bad things in life come in two's and not three's" Such a prayer works wonders for keeping the heart at ease So naturally he sends you no more than this Lest he ruin your chance for eternal bliss What d'you mean you need love not money? You expect to live in a land of milk and honey Are you trying to be funny?
