St. Paul - Rich Man (1987) I'm just wondering does anyone knows the lyrics to St. Paul - Rich Man from 1987. I've been searching through google.com, and it's not coming up at all. I just recently saw the video, and after watching it I would like to know If my conclusion of the video is accurate by reading the lyrics to get more of my perspective on the video. I know a few of the lyrics it goes something like She love me If I were a Rich Man, but I would like to know what's the rest St. Paul was singing in that song.
Thanks a bunch for anyone that can type up the lyrics for me. [Edited 5/1/05 12:16pm] |

Corrections will be needed, 'cuz its been a while since I bumped this song but here's a shot from memory:
Penthouse apartment, a limo outside She's got everything that money can buy Silver, diamonds, dollars, and furs If you can name it mama, you can bet that its hers Tell me why I love her, tell me why I care? She treats me like I'm not even there I've got the answer, there is no doubt I just can't afford to take her out She'd love me if I were a rich man She'd love me if I had the cash She'd love me if I were a rich man 'Til that day she'll treat me just like trash I tell her that money don't count She don't buy it, she's into amount I say "Its my love you ought to address" She says "Do you have a Visa or American Express"? Tell me why I love her, tell me why I care? She treats me like I'm not even there I've got the answer, there's no doubt I just can't afford to take her out She'd love me if I were a rich man She'd love me if I had the cash She'd love me if I were a rich man 'Til that day she'll treat me just like trash One day you'll realize that you're a lonely girl And money is the only thing that matters in your world I was there to love you right from the very start Guess my love wasn't good enough for your high class... She'd love me if I were a rich man She'd love me if I had the cash She'd love me if I were a rich man 'Til that day she'll treat me just like trash [Edited 5/2/05 22:44pm] [Edited 8/31/09 22:05pm] | |

He lacked the coolness that cats like Morris, Alex, and Jesse have I'm sorry  . However, he does get cool points for having sweet spots for sistas in his video.  .[Edited 5/2/05 1:04am] | |

Penthouse apartment, limo outside I couldn't quite remember but that's it! Still, pretty good for a top of my head accounting of a song I probably haven't listened to in 6 or 7 years. That just shows how heavy in my rotation it was when it came out! Fixed my original post, thanks... [Edited 5/2/05 22:49pm] | |
