Bottles and Cans Songtext
von Angie Stone

Everybody wants some type of success in life
Like every woman wants to one day be a wife
Your success is measured, but to a degree
′Cuz all the money in the world, don? t add up to you and me

I? d rather be pickin? up bottles and cans
If you can? t be my man
I? d rather be homeless in the streets
With no food to eat

I? d rather be facing twenty to life
If I can? t be your wife
Now I know that it seems like I? m crazy for you
That? s what love can do

Look at what you started, there? s no way this can end
Because I've falling in love, but how deep did I fall in
If anything should ever stand in our way
I wouldn′t wait till tomorrow, but I? d throw it away today


I? d rather be pickin? up bottles and cans
If you can? t be my man
I? d rather be homeless in the streets
With no food to eat

I? d rather be facing twenty to life
If I can? t be your wife
Now I know that it seems like I? m crazy for you
That? s what love can do

I? d rather be pickin' up bottles and cans
Pickin' up cans baby, oh yeah yeah
I? d rather be homeless in the streets
With no food to eat

I? d rather be facing twenty to life
Now I know that it seems like I? m crazy for you
That? s what love can do

It just ain′t money
(Without)
There is no home
(Without you)
It? s no crime, baby
(Without)
Who is everyone
(Without you)


It? s no career
(Without)
It? s not sincere
(Without you)
These diamonds don? t shine
(Without)
Whoa
(That? s what love can do)
That? s what love can do

I? d rather be pickin? up bottles and cans
If you can? t be my man
I? d rather be homeless in the streets
With no food to eat

I? d rather be facing twenty to life
Now I know that it seems like I? m crazy for you
That? s what love can do

I? d rather be pickin? up bottles and cans
If you can? t be my man
I? d rather be homeless in the streets
With no food to eat
I? d rather be facing twenty to life
