BEWARE

Counting every dollar
Planning every move
Checking out the dance floor 
Checking out their shoes. 

Stacking up the assets 
Each one’s portfolio
Checking out my options
Before I  say, HELLO! 

A Gucci watch speaks volumes 
And that expensive leather purse
Got to have that feeling
An idea of what she’s worth. 

A CEO on Wall Street
The hottest girl I’ve found
Spends summers in the Hamptons
Likes getting out of town.

Won’t be foolish, won’t  be tempted 
I know love & lust don’t last
When I’m looking for a partner
I make sure she’s got some cash.

She’ll be sipping a martini
Never chugging down a beer
Her jewelry….. sophisticated
Wears a diamond in each ear.

There’s a method to my madness
It’s full proof, a guarantee
If she’s got a lot of money
She could be the girl for me.
