Everybody wants some type of success in life Like every woman wants to one day be a wife Your success is measured, but to a degree Cuz all the money in the world don't add up to you and me
I'd rather be pickin' up bottles and cans If you can't be my man I'd rather be homeless in the streets With no food to eat
I'd rather be facing Twenty to life If I can't be your wife Now I know that it seems like I'm crazy for you That's what love can do
Look at what you started, There's no way this can end Because I've fallin' in love, But how deep did I fall in
If anything should ever stand in our way I wouldn't wait 'till tomorrow, But I'd throw it away today
I'd rather be pickin' up bottles and cans If you can't be my man I'd rather be homeless in the streets With no food to ea
I'd rather be pickin' up bottles and cans Pickin' up cans baby, oh yeah yeah I'd rather be homeless in the streets with no food to eat I'd rather be facing Twenty to life
Now I know that it seems like I'm crazy for you That's what love can do
It just ain't money - without There is no home - without you It's no crime, baby - without Who is everyone - without you
It's no career - without It's not sincere - without you These diamonds don't shine (without Whoa - that's what love can do
I'd rather be pickin' up bottles and cans If you can't be my man I'd rather be homeless in the streets With no food to ea (Repeat)
