Lyrics: Fitz & the Tantrums. Pickin' Up The Pieces. Rich Girls.
Suzie came, wealthy family raised
Went to college, all her debts were paid
Got a job down in SoHo
Her daddy said, "Don't date him, he got no dough"
She had the doorman, elevator
Penthouse alligator shoes and a driver that took her to school
She got no need for any man even if you got a plan
You'd always end up playin' the fool
I was dreamin' of a perfect union
But then I woke up to find
Truth comes crashing down
Don't matter what you do 'cause tha'
Rich girls will break your heart and
Poor girls will take your money
I confess and I repent for things I've done
My soul is spent on rich girls and poor girls
Shonie came from a broken home
Her mama sick and her daddy long gone
Got a job but it don't pay no bread
Lookin' for a man who's well fed
She got the low rent underground
Padlock studio blues and a tha' bus fare to take her to school
She sho' needs a steady man always got a perfect plan
For you to pay up for playin' the fool
I was dreaming of a perfect union
But then I woke up to find
Truth comes crashing down
Don't matter what you do 'cause
Rich girls will break'a your heart and
Poor girls will take'a your money
I confess and I repent for things I've done
My soul is spent
Rich girls will break'a your heart and
Poor girls will take'a your money
I confess and I repent for things I've done
My soul is spent
Don't need no rich girls
Don't need no poor girls
Don't need no rich girls
Don't need no poor girls
Went to college, all her debts were paid
Got a job down in SoHo
Her daddy said, "Don't date him, he got no dough"
She had the doorman, elevator
Penthouse alligator shoes and a driver that took her to school
She got no need for any man even if you got a plan
You'd always end up playin' the fool
I was dreamin' of a perfect union
But then I woke up to find
Truth comes crashing down
Don't matter what you do 'cause tha'
Rich girls will break your heart and
Poor girls will take your money
I confess and I repent for things I've done
My soul is spent on rich girls and poor girls
Shonie came from a broken home
Her mama sick and her daddy long gone
Got a job but it don't pay no bread
Lookin' for a man who's well fed
She got the low rent underground
Padlock studio blues and a tha' bus fare to take her to school
She sho' needs a steady man always got a perfect plan
For you to pay up for playin' the fool
I was dreaming of a perfect union
But then I woke up to find
Truth comes crashing down
Don't matter what you do 'cause
Rich girls will break'a your heart and
Poor girls will take'a your money
I confess and I repent for things I've done
My soul is spent
Rich girls will break'a your heart and
Poor girls will take'a your money
I confess and I repent for things I've done
My soul is spent
Don't need no rich girls
Don't need no poor girls
Don't need no rich girls
Don't need no poor girls
