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
