Used to dream of being a millionaire, without a care 00:17

But if I'm seeing my dreams, and you aren't there 00:23

'Cause it's over, that just won't be fair, darling 00:27

Rather be a poor woman living on the street, no food to eat 00:37

'Cause I don't want nobody if I have it cry 00:41

'Cause it's over when you say goodbye 00:45

00:52

All at once, I had it all 00:54

Now I see myself through different eyes, it's no surprise 01:32

Being alone would make you realize 01:37

When it's over, all in love is fair 01:41

I should've been there, I should've been there, I should've should've 01:47

Lyrics:

[English]

Used to dream of being a millionaire, without a care

But if I'm seeing my dreams, and you aren't there

'Cause it's over, that just won't be fair, darling

Rather be a poor woman living on the street, no food to eat

'Cause I don't want nobody if I have it cry

'Cause it's over when you say goodbye

...

All at once, I had it all

But it doesn't mean anything now that you're gone

From above seems I had it all

But it doesn't mean anything since you're gone

Now I see myself through different eyes, it's no surprise

Being alone would make you realize

When it's over, all in love is fair

I should've been there, I should've been there, I should've should've

All at once, I had it all

But it doesn't mean anything now that you're gone

...

From above seems I had it all

But it doesn't mean anything since you're gone

...

I know I push you away

What can I do that will say how I love

...

Take these material things

They don't mean nothing

It's you that I want

All at once, I had it all

But it doesn't mean anything now that you're gone

...

From above, seems I had it all

But it doesn't mean anything since you're gone

(I should've been there've, I should've been there, I should've should've)

All at once, I had it all

But it doesn't mean anything now that you're gone

From above, seems I had it all

But it doesn't mean anything since you're gone

...
