I don’t want to buy love from you
Let me pay and we’ll walk around instead
I’m like you except I have some money
We’ll be best friends without laying in a bed

It has to be what you want anyway
You thought this but I said it’s really that
Go ahead and walk on ahead of me
Find yourself then you can come on back

Whatever you may be
I want you to pretend it's free
No matter what I do for you
I want you only if it's really for me

Now that it’s done let’s stay on our path
I like a crowd of strangers around me
If you were that one person I really know
We’d be the falling leaves of a sidewalk tree

Some people say they only tell the truth
So do I but it’s not so hard to kindly say
It’s just how I feel and I’ll explain it to you
We don’t need to sing the blues on Sunday

You know though about being alone
Is it just for yourself or will it be about me
If you walk on ahead looking back while I smile
I hope my heart is the only thing you see

Whatever you may be
I want you to pretend it's free
No matter what I do for you
I want you only if it's really for me
