I Will Buy You a New Life (re‐recorded) Songtext
von Everclear

Mm-mm
Oh
Yeah

Here is the money that I owe you
Yeah, so you can pay the bills
I will give you more when I get paid again
I hate those people who love to tell you
Money is the root of all that kills
They have never been poor
They have never known the joy of a welfare Christmas

Yeah
Oh, I know we will never look back
Yeah
Uh


You say you wake up cryin′
Yes, and you don't know why
You get up and you go lay down inside my baby′s room, oh
Yeah, I guess I'm doin' okay
I moved in with the strangest guy
Can you believe he actually thinks that I am really alive

I will buy you a garden where your flowers can bloom
I will buy you a new car, perfect, shiny, and new
I will buy you that big house way up in the West Hills
I will buy you a new life, yes, I will

Yes, I know all about that other guy
The handsome man with athletic thighs
I know all about the times before
With that obsessive little rich boy
They might make you think you′re happy
Yeah, maybe for a minute or two
They can′t make you laugh
No, they can't make you feel the way that I do

I will buy you a garden where your flowers can bloom
I will buy you a new car, perfect, shiny, and new
I will buy you that big house way up in the West Hills
I will buy you a new life, yeah
I will buy you a new life


Oh (oh)
Yeah (yeah)
Ooh, I know we can never look back, yeah (yeah)
Whoa (whoa), oh

Will you please let me stay the night? (No one will ever know)
Will you please let me stay the night? (No one will ever know)
No one will ever know (no one will ever know), yeah, yeah

I will buy you a garden where your flowers can bloom
I will buy you a new car, perfect, shiny, and new
I will buy you that big house way up in the West Hills
I will buy you a new life, oh yeah

I will buy you a garden where your flowers can bloom
I will buy you a new car, perfect, shiny, and new
I will buy you that big house way up in the West Hills
I will buy you a new life (I will buy you a new life), yeah
I will buy you a new life (I will buy you a new life)
I will buy you a new life (I will buy you a new life)
I will buy you a new life (I will buy you a new life)
