designer love

Gil Scott-heron

(Chorus 2X)
She want a lot of love
But his ballin got your hand with that designer love
And I wanna change your world
But you re such a material girl

Now I done seen so many girls
Let a man come in and change their whole world
Okay I know you like nice things
But there s more to life than cars and bling bling
Oh yes I know he gives you cash
But without the love this thing won t last
Oh he okay when you let him smack
But when you ain t in the mood he treats you like trash
First date, fancy places to eat
Second date, he took you on a shopping spree
Third date, you realized you wanted me
Ninth minute after six your body s calling me

(Chorus 2X)
She want a lot of love
But his ballin got your hand with that designer love
And I wanna change your world
But you re such a material girl

She want a
Designer Love
She want a
Designer love

Now I recall meeting you
While you were down and out and feeling so blue
So I listened to you
As you explained the things your man won t do
But I didn t have much cash
For the Gucci clothes and the Coach bags
But I did more for you
I mean I held you close and talked to you
First date, we got some fast food to eat
Second date, I listened while you talked to me
Third date, you realized you wanted me
It s best if you envy nothing if you re there for me (There for me)

(Chorus 2X)
She want a lot of love
But his ballin got your hand with that designer love
And I wanna change your world
But you re such a material girl

(Omaze)
Dressed to impress
But she had to confess
The simple ways that we kicked it
Relieved our stress
Oh yes, I brought you joy
Laughed and took your hand
While he, he ignored you
Gave your love the name brand Prada and Gucci
Don t forget about Chanell Armani to Versace
Covered her body so well
True enough she from the block, past life, was slum
Bad hair, high school days a tireless bum
Swooped after graduation
By a big time hustler
And it was no more days of cold wings and brussels
It s like, no finance and no romance
But see, deep in her heart a hood realla still stood a chance

(Chorus 2X)
She want a lot of love
But his ballin got your hand with that designer love
And I wanna change your world
But you re such a material girl

She want a
Designer Love
She want a
Designer love

(Chorus 2X)
She want a lot of love
But his ballin got your hand with that designer love
And I wanna change your world
But you re such a material girl
