(Verse 1)
Empty pockets, heavy heart,
Jobless and lost, where do I start?
Girl, you're a flame, so bright and bold,
But my love's broke, story untold.
Your desires, a burning fire,
My empty hands, fuel no pyre.
I yearn to give you all you crave,
But my bank account's a barren cave.
This love's a test, can it survive,
When all I have is love to give?
Will you stay or will you drive?
(Chorus)
I'm broke, baby, can't you see?
But my love's rich, believe in me.
I'll work my fingers to the bone,
To make you mine, my very own.
So please, don't leave, don't walk away,
Give this broke lover a chance to stay.
(Verse 2)
Every date, a struggle and strain,
My wallet weeps in pouring rain.
You want the finer things in life,
But I'm scraping by, cutting with knife.
Fancy dinners, trips so grand,
All I can offer is my hand.
My love's a treasure, pure and true,
But can it compete with what money can do?
I'm caught in a web, tangled and tight,
Hoping love can win this fight.
Will you stay or take flight?
(Chorus)
I'm broke, baby, can't you see?
But my love's rich, believe in me.
I'll work my fingers to the bone,
To make you mine, my very own.
So please, don't leave, don't walk away,
Give this broke lover a chance to stay.
(Verse 3)
I'm searching for work, day and night,
Hoping to bring your world some light.
I'll climb this mountain, steep and high,
To earn your love, beneath the sky.
I'll build an empire, brick by brick,
So your desires, I can pick.
But until then, my love's all I own,
Will you accept this heart, or stone?
I'm laying it all on the line,
Hoping your love will intertwine.
Will you be mine, or leave me alone?
(Chorus)
I'm broke, baby, can't you see?
But my love's rich, believe in me.
I'll work my fingers to the bone,
To make you mine, my very own.
So please, don't leave, don't walk away,
Give this broke lover a chance to stay.
