Billionaire

Delta Goodrem

8

I didn′t drink 'til I was 27

That day I went to numb the pain inside me

The emptiness was showingThe hate around me growing

I thought I had to bury my self-worth

The boulevard of broken dreams was building

The whiskey kept on turning into wine

Some people started asking

Oh, where was all this going?

Then tried to pull the wool over my eyes

I′ve always been a lady, yeah

And that always saved me

I had to see the other side

My mama said, "Go marry rich, girl"

It'll take your problems all away

But I lead life with my heart

And the world's not always fair

I′m gonna make myself that billionaire

I′ve never been impressed with money or power

'Cause I thought I′d be the one to rule the world

So many men would tell me

It would be the gifts they gave me

But that just don't make them my Mr. Right

My name is Delta lady

You can′t try to change me

I'll give you many reasons why but

My mama said, "Go marry rich, girl"

It′ll take your problems all away

But I lead life with my heart

And the world's not always fair

I'm gonna make myself that billionaire

He said, "Baby hold my hand"

I′m not your baby, understand

I′m gonna need a grown-ass man

Who takes me for who I am

My mama said, "Go marry rich, girl"

It'll take your problems all away

But I lead life with my heart

Though the world′s not always fair

I'm gonna make myself that billionaire

Shake that wannabe

You′re only gonna end up lonely

'Cause he′s no good, you see

The real ones love unconditionally

You got to shake that wannabe

You're only gonna end up lonely
