Everything is scary
It's easy to wind up attached
But loving won't save you, baby
Nothing does that but warm, soft cash

Pitch love won't keep the lights on
Scarlet's not a red carpet tour
Pallid pink love won't buy you oysters
And ashen is just such a chore!

Everything is scary
It's easy to wind up attached
But loving won't save you, baby
Nothing does that but warm, soft cash

Love is a hole you're standing in, digging with a spade
Artificial diamonds, paper hearts, you've got it made
"Precious" as a three-leafed clover
Hon, your fantasies over

This world runs on money
They all want to be the big cat
But having a soulmate, honey?
Won't make you happy, I can guarantee that!

Everything is scary
It's easy to wind up attached
But loving won't save you, baby
Nothing does that but warm, soft cash

Oh-woah-oh, warm, soft cash
