Faux Richie Riches,
Here’s the “new” jam over on Volume 11 of FTMUFOMMTS! Listen in the player below.
Found this song sitting on an old hard drive today : Pathway says iTunes Music>Unknown Artist>Unknown Album.
I don’t call this the "Mixed Up Files” fer nothing!
Watch the video up top for all of my deep philosophical thoughts on money etc.
I remain your humble servant,
OX&C,
Faux Jean
Here are the lyrics for today’s jamb:
I hang around all day long
Beat myself up over it
What did I do wrong?
Now I know that it's nothing that I've done
She comes from money and I have none
I've got none of that which they say it brings happiness
So I'll stop and sing I'll ring her up when she gets back
It's so sad
Seems that I was the last to learn
That she'd chosen my love as her good luck charm to spurn
Now I see that I'm all alone
She's out with our friends
While I sit at home
I sit and home
With this crossword rag
It makes no sense
Still I've got to sing I'll ring her up when she gets back.
It's so sad, it's so sad
Oh, I'm gonna get her back
Oh, I'm going to see this through
Money won't be my tack
I'm hoping that love will do the trick
The richest man in the world can't love her
Not like I can
I'm hoping that she'll see the light
I'm hoping that she'll see the light
I'm hoping that she'll see the light
I'm hoping that she'll see the light
I hang around all day long
Beat myself up over it
What did I do wrong?
Now I know that it's nothing that I've done
She comes from money and I have none
I've got none of that which they say it brings happiness
Still I've got to sing I've got to get this off my back
It's so sad...
