Champagne Taste

The other day I checked my bank account, I could swear it was the wrong amount and I didn't understand cause I've been working hard. For the life of me I didn't know where it went. I hadn't even payed the rent. Then the Mercedes pulled up in the yard.

Oh, Lord I should have seen it coming, this time I'm in deep.

Now I'm heading to poor house, or heading to jail. And if I end up there I ain't making bail. And if it goes to court, I sure don't have a case. Cause I ran out of money some time ago, but if you look at my wife you'd never know. I'm afraid my baby's got champagne taste on a beer budget.

When my throat dried up and my heart just sunk as she motioned me over and popped the trunk. And I tried to ignore her absent minded smile. Then boy I was greeted by quite the crew, this Louis Vuitton and some Jimmy Choo. And that was just the fellas who were sitting on top of the pile. I said, "Baby, there's a Walmart a block away and I don't think they sell these brands."

Now I'm heading to poor house, or heading to jail. And if I end up there I ain't making bail. And if it goes to court, I sure don't have a case. Cause I ran out of money some time ago, but if you look at my wife you'd never know. I'm afraid my baby's got champagne taste on a beer budget.
All the bills are in my name. They're gonna haul my ass away. And I won't see her pretty face at all, cause the prison's nowhere near the mall.

Now I'm heading to poor house, or heading to jail. And if I end up there I ain't making bail. And if it goes to court, I sure don't have a case. Cause I ran out of money some time ago, but if you look at my wife you'd never know. I'm afraid my baby's got champagne taste on a beer budget.
