[Verse 1]
Use me, I'm beautiful
Take me, I'm yours
Hurt me, it feels like medicine
And all I deserve
People have funny things
Swimming inside
They swing like pendulums
They turn like the tides
[Chorus]
Darling, I don't need money
I could be happy with someone to love
[Verse 2]
Oh what a crazy time
I've been a fool
On a wild ride to oblivion
I lost my mind
But with you, it's understood
You make me feel strong
Your arms look so powerful
When they hold me down
[Chorus]
Darling, I don't need money
I could be happy with someone to love
[Bridge]
Everyone looks dangerous
And no one keeps their promises
And I am always running
And you have your dark places
Regretting, feeling
Remembering something
We never said (regretting)
We wish we said (something)
We should have said (regretting)
We could have said (something)
[Chorus]
Truly, I don't need money
Or strangers to love me, no diamonds and pearls
Or fast cars designed for the rock stars
I could be happy with someone to trust
Someone to love
Someone to trust
[Outro]
Use me, I'm beautiful
Take me, I'm yours
Use me, I'm beautiful
Take me, I'm yours
Hurt me, it feels like medicine
And all I deserve
People have funny things
Swimming inside
They swing like pendulums
They turn like the tides
[Chorus]
Darling, I don't need money
I could be happy with someone to love
[Verse 2]
Oh what a crazy time
I've been a fool
On a wild ride to oblivion
I lost my mind
But with you, it's understood
You make me feel strong
Your arms look so powerful
When they hold me down
[Chorus]
Darling, I don't need money
I could be happy with someone to love
[Bridge]
Everyone looks dangerous
And no one keeps their promises
And I am always running
And you have your dark places
Regretting, feeling
Remembering something
We never said (regretting)
We wish we said (something)
We should have said (regretting)
We could have said (something)
[Chorus]
Truly, I don't need money
Or strangers to love me, no diamonds and pearls
Or fast cars designed for the rock stars
I could be happy with someone to trust
Someone to love
Someone to trust
[Outro]
Use me, I'm beautiful
Take me, I'm yours
