You Can't Afford Me

If you don't know how much I am worth then you can't afford me
If you don't know how much I am worth then you can't afford me

None of us are getting out of this life alive
Stumble through as best through the strife you strive
I talk around my [A]becks until the sky is pink
But she talks about her ex so much even I miss him
No joke to [C7]me, you [A7have to [C7]keep winning
I know you're so broke, you're having sleep for [Dm7]dinner
What emerges from night at the foot of the curtain is light
The morning is tɾying to [C7]get in as you [A7put the world to [C7]ɾights
Love baits you [A7out, when you [A7want it, it leaves
Love is great but you [A7ever wanna sneeze?

If you [A7don't know how much I am worth then you [A7can't afford me
If you [A7don't know how much I am worth then you [A7can't afford me

Yo, see if you [A7don't know your worth
You're gonna settle for [Dm7]less
I need honesty, best policy, and [Bm]that minimum ɾespect
I don't want no stɾess
I don't need me a pest
And if you [A7lay down with dogs babe, then you're gonna need a vet
See they come around with their chest high and [Bm]they got [Fm7]nothing to [C7]offer
Like, why you [A7so on [C7]me mate? Why even bother?
See you [A7wanna f*ck, tɾying to [C7]push your luck
Now I took you [A7down and [Bm]you're looking stuck
You're still at your mum's and [Bm]a total bum
But you [A7want the cookie, you [A7can't get crumb
Nah, I ain't gonna allow you [A7mate, not even a little
I'm from M&S, babes, you [A7got [Fm7]better chance at Lidl's, ah

If you [A7don't know how much I am worth then you [A7can't afford me
If you [A7don't know how much I am worth then you [A7can't afford me

You make problems with people so you [A7can push them [A]away
So they can't leave you [A7before you [A7leave they
Leather jackets, summer braced the sweat, chase something
In this weather, only the ugly wear a face of make up
Again, I tell you [A7I don't party hardly
But when I do, yes, I party hard
Put the work in the club from 11 till 2
But you [A7are still a virgin 'cause you [A7never lose
I tell you [A7go the way you [A7look so when you're down see what's up
But if you're feeling down I can always feel you [A7up
Born in Barnet at the age of zero
Did my [A]learning in Birmingham
Again I tell you [A7I don't party hardly
But when I do, yes, I party hard

If you [A7don't know how much I am worth then you [A7can't afford me
If you [A7don't know how much I am worth then you [A7can't afford me
