about

A song with a wink about the fact that women can see a certain bohemian attractiveness in musicians, but at the moment the financial part of life comes in, the story turns in an other direction.

lyrics

Well I guess I’ve never told you and I guess you’ve never felt.
I won’t be Richard Branson but I'm doing well.
And I know you've always asked me and I am sure you always will.
Who is gonna pay the rent who is gonna pay these bills?
And I know you've always wanted someone.
It’s better than alone.
But I guess that I have told you before.
And right now you need to know, to know.

Don't wait for my money, wait for my heart, wait for my heart.
Because I don't save my money, but I save my heart, save my heart for you.

So you thought that I was loaded.
Well that is what I am.
With my dreams unfolded.
I don’t feel like wasting them.
So open your soul if you want to be around.
Music is my rhythm and this passion is my sound.
And I know you’ve always wanted someone.
To be there to steal the show.
But I guess that I have warned you before.
And right now you need to know, to know.

Don't wait for my money, wait for my heart, wait for my heart.
Because I don't save my money, but I save my heart, save my heart for you.
Don't wait for my money, wait for my heart, wait for my heart.
Because I don't save my money, but I save my heart, save my heart for you.

Now you know that I'm a poor man.
With only debts on my mind.
Music is my freedom.
And a man is hard to find.
So open your soul
And let me be around
You can be my rhythm
And I will be your sound
And I know you’ve always wanted someone.
It’s better than alone.
But I guess that I have told you before
And right now you need to know, to know.


Don't wait for my money, wait for my heart, wait for my heart.
Because I don't save my money, but I save my heart, I save my heart, I save my heart, I save my heart, save my heart.
