Maybe love is a luxury reserved for the rich <br> Maybe respect is a commodity only money can buy<br> I just wish all the songs we heard growing up<br> Would have mentioned the words were such a lie<br> <br> The truth is a good heart is worth nothing<br> Your status determines if you're a great guy<br> Morality and fidelity have no value<br> When compared to the gifts you buy<br> <br> In a world where every one is called darling<br> Its hard to know you're that special someone<br> Flirting with friends is a harmless pass time<br> Something modern couples do just for fun<br> <br> Total commitment is passe, <br> Devotion is no longer cool<br> Or maybe these are just ramblings <br> of a silly, old fashioned fool
