I would gladly eat anything you set before me Devour any idea you cook inside your head There's not much food because there's not much money Yet I'm a rich man every night I bed Because you're all mine and mine only By a little lucky twist of fate No, I will never ever be hungry I will gladly eat from our chipped plate You can buy chocolate, cigarettes, and whiskey Cook it all up into a stew Sure, my stomach might feel frisky But it gets better anytime you say "I do" Now you're all mine and mine only See, I'm the fullest man alive Everything you make is so wholly I'll eat it all up until the day I die We don't have credit but we have each other What billions could never buy Repeat to me "baby, I'm your lover" And watch my worth rise Because now you're all mine and mine only I could never go hungry again Our cupboards they might be empty But our eyes are full until the end

Chipped Plates
