[The Streets, Ms Banks - You Can't Afford Me lyrics]
If you don't know how much I am worth
Then you can't afford me
If you don't know how much I am worth
Then you can't afford me
None of us are getting out of this life alive
Stumble through as best through
The strife you strive
I talk around my bets 'til the sky is pink
But she talks about her ex so much
Even I miss him
No joke to me, you have to keep winning
I know you're so broke
You're having sleep for dinner
What emerges from night
At the foot of the curtain is light
The morning is tryin' to get in as
You put the world to rights
Love fakes you out, when you want it
It leaves
Love is great, don't you ever wanna sneeze?
If you don't know how much I am worth
Then you can't afford me
If you don't know how much I am worth
Then you can't afford me
Yo, see, if you don't know your worth
You're gonna settle for less
I need honesty, best policy
And that minimum respect
I don't want no stress
I don't need me a pest
And if you lay down with dogs, babe
Then you're gonna need a vet
See, they come around with their chest high
And they got nothing to offer
Like, why you so on me, mate?
Why even bother?
See you wanna fuck, try to push your luck
Now take me down and you're lookin' stuck
You're still at your mum's and a total bum
But, you want the cookie
You can't get a crumb
Nah, I ain't gonna 'low you, mate
Not even a little i'm from M&S, babes
You got a better chance at Lidl's, ah
If you don't know how much I am worth
Then you can't afford me
If you don't know how much I am worth
Then you can't afford me
You make problems with people so
You can push them away
So they can't leave you before you leave they
Leather jacket summer
Brace the sweat and chase something
In this weather
Only the ugly wear a face of make-up
Again, I tell you I don't party, hardly
But when I do, yes, I party hard
Put the work in the club from eleven 'til two
But, you are still a virgin
'cause you never lose
I tell him you go the way you look
So when you're down, see what's up
But, if you're feeling down
I can always feel you up
Born in Barnet at the age of zero
Did my learning in Birmingham
Again, I tell you I don't party, hardly
But when I do, yes, I party hard
If you don't know how much I am worth
Then you can't afford me
If you don't know how much I am worth
Then you can't afford me
Then you can't afford me
If you don't know how much I am worth
Then you can't afford me
None of us are getting out of this life alive
Stumble through as best through
The strife you strive
I talk around my bets 'til the sky is pink
But she talks about her ex so much
Even I miss him
No joke to me, you have to keep winning
I know you're so broke
You're having sleep for dinner
What emerges from night
At the foot of the curtain is light
The morning is tryin' to get in as
You put the world to rights
Love fakes you out, when you want it
It leaves
Love is great, don't you ever wanna sneeze?
If you don't know how much I am worth
Then you can't afford me
If you don't know how much I am worth
Then you can't afford me
Yo, see, if you don't know your worth
You're gonna settle for less
I need honesty, best policy
And that minimum respect
