DOLLARS and SENSE by Michelle Olds

Once you said you loved me

I asked it was true

You said it again, so I believed you

How long have you been living this lie?

Denying me of all I ever wanted...

Love

That\'s all I asked of you

Not money, clothes, cars

Just love

 

Why was it so hard to love me?

Was it because love didn\'t have a price tag...?

 

What I wanted most was the least expensive

You couldn\'t even give me that

 

You never loved me

If so, prices would not have mattered

What did you gain- NOTHING

What did you lose- your best shot for ETERNAL HAPPINESS

 

I don\'t play games

You thought I was a Monopoly set

A piece to be bought

Money only buys so much

 I was never for sale
