If I had a Rolex weighing down my wrist

If I could write checks with a bunch of zeros in it

If I had a G-5 flying high, 10-figure dollar signsLike a billionaire, but you weren′t there

I'd rather be broke

Penny pinching just to stay afloat

Instead of wishing for the stuff I don′t need

'Cause I got you and baby girl, you got me

If I had to choose a big house with an ocean view

And being rich or being with you, alone, holding me close

On a hand-me-down couch at home

I'd rather be broke (broke, broke)

I′d rather be broke (broke, broke, yeah)

I′d trade a downtown bar for our back porch

Yeah, they got five stars, but we got a couple million more

I can have the world, but to me it wouldn't matter

Without you girl, yeah, you know

I′d rather be broke

Penny pinching just to stay afloat

Instead of wishing for the stuff I don't need

′Cause I got you and baby girl, you got me

If I had to choose a big house with an ocean view

And being rich or being with you, alone, holding me close

On a hand-me-down couch at home

I'd rather be broke (broke, broke)

I′d rather be broke (broke, broke, yeah)

I said I'd rather be broke

Penny pinching just to stay afloat

Instead of wishing for the stuff I don't need

′Cause I got you and baby girl, you got me

If I had to choose a big house with an ocean view

And being rich or being with you, alone, holding me close

On a hand-me-down couch at home

I′d rather be broke (broke, broke)

I'd rather be broke (broke, broke)

Yeah, I′d rather be broke (broke, broke)

I'd rather be, broke
