Well, just across the street
from our little three -room shack
There's a mansion that reaches the sky
With at least a dozen rooms
and a great big swimming pool
Two sport cars and three
long Cadillacs
And the only thing I own
is a broken down old Ford
Half the time it won't even start
But you won't hear us fighting
At four in the morning
Calling names to break
each other's hearts
So they can have it
We don't need it
They can keep it and call it their own
Living that kind of life
Is not for you and me
We got love, love's all we need
I never get tired of wearing
that same old shabby dress
The one I bought down at
the dollar store
Well, I watch every dime I spend
and I save every cent I can
Get the things I know we came for
And every afternoon I sit
out on the porch
Watch them as they pass
through those gates
I may wonder what it's like
to be a fancy lady
But I'll always have a smile on my face
So they can have it, we don't need it
They can keep it and call it their own
Livin' that kind of life,
if not for you and me
We got love, love is all we need
We got love, love is all we need
