Story Behind The Song

Buy Buy Love's first verse is about a situation that my son encountered with his rich grandmother. But the second verse was and is what happened to my husband in his first marriage. An epiphany wrote the last verse as a universal question and answer......? Just the way I see it. My Spirit is not from this world and has a hard time accepting the way things appear to work on this planet. I can accept it enough to be an artisan mason/refurbish house painter, and I would accept the money when some songs sell. Honest.

Song Description

Thats what you get when you buy love. The song pretty much says it like it is.

Lyrics

BYE BUY LOVE

I heard she bribed you with a car
Now so uninspired
You do her bidding,
When she reprimands
You hope she's kidding,
She can't see who you are
Now you understand

Chorus:
That's what ya get
That's what ya get when ya buy love
That's what ya get when you're bought
Buy buy love
Bye bye love

The divorce it left you such a mess
She's not holding back
She wants your money
She's hid away on crack
Hey it's not funny
Now the children must confess
That they understand.

Chorus:

Bridge: (spoken)
Little green notes & plastic cards
Perceived to measure the worth of a soul.
Why do they say we're worth more than gold?
Why do they say we're worth more than gold?
That's not what we get.

See him sleeping in the street
Who is this man?
Where is his mother?
Who will lend a hand?
Where is his brother?
And the people that he meets.
Who will understand?

That's what we get
That's what wet get when we buy love
That's what we get when we're bought
Buy buy love
Bye bye love

Bridge: (spoken)
Little green notes & plastic cards
Perceived to measure the worth of a soul.
Why do they say we're worth more than gold?
Why do they say we're worth more than gold?

Buy buy love
Bye bye love
Bye bye Bye bye love
Bye Bye love
Bye Bye love

Chorus: fini
