you don't deserve me

i could never buy you a pony

but a guy with the money could



....you deserve a millionaire

because a millionaire would buy you a pony



and even if you don't want a pony

you would then have a beautiful life

because the millionaire would buy a ranch

to house his beautiful wife and

a barn for the pony



and you would have the smell

of straw in your hair from rolls

in the hay, courtesy of the rich guy



and i can't do that

i can't even write about it without

realizing you don't deserve me



see i the cheap kind that would take you

to dinner where we don't pay for the view

in a hide away within a building that i will

never own, then sneaking beers to the balcony



where i could flatter you with the words

that don't cost the price of a pony and

you can't put a saddle on them



i would find you the silk flowers

that are not growing in the meadow

of the ranch in the life you deserve



and i will someday find the girl

who is happy with half of all that

and when she talks, just as with you

i will hang on every word
