Well, I like these things you can buy with money 00:10
On a day that's wrong, but a day that's sunny 00:14
Pick it up with my hands, put it out on sale 00:19
They can't do it like me, can't do it like me 00:23
When it's all going up like a burning fever 00:28
My feet on the ground like a super feeler, yeah 00:33
And I don't know much, but I know this one thing 00:37
They can't do it like me 00:41
Can't do it like me, yeah 00:44
I crave a real connection 00:47
I like to turn the page 00:50
With my hands and my nails 00:52
That match my summer shade 00:54
Some call that superficial 00:57
To wanna touch the cover 00:59
But I'm a material lover, yeah 01:02
Material lover, mmh 01:09
When I step outside and I see what's happening 01:15
It's not fair, not fair, not fair, it's a pattern 01:19
When I go too far, but come back quickly 01:24
They can't do it like me 01:28
Can't do it like, they can't do it like me 01:31
I crave a real connection 01:34
I like to turn the page 01:36
With my hands and my nails 01:39
That match my summer shade 01:41
Some call that superficial 01:43
To wanna touch the cover 01:46
But I'm a material lover, yeah 01:48
A material lover 01:55
I want a real thing now, mmh 02:00
I want a real thing now 02:04
I do, I do, I do 02:09
Material lover, yeah 02:14
Ooh, tu-ru-ru, tu-ru, tu-tu 02:20
Oh-oh-oh 02:27
Materi-eria-al, say it when you don't want 02:30
I could give a real thing to you, oh 02:34
Materi-eria-al, say that you want more 02:39
I could give a real thing to you, oh 02:44
