about: Money might buy happiness, but remember to keep the receipt.
lyrics: I could never afford those diamond rings, but I bought you lots of other things, like the puppy that was blind in one eye and never really housebroken, and like the scratch-off that could've made you a millionaire, like the scarf that I thought went with your hair -- was I wrong to think we had a bond that was so strong but unspoken? I gave you lots of presents, but you left me in the past.

I bought us dinner and late night snacks like chicken strips in plastic sacks that came with dipping sauces: some had ranch and some had pesto. And I wrote this song for you with the same three chords I always use, but the words are something different, it’s a deep and heartfelt manifesto. I gave you lots of presents, but you left me in the past.

There’s a building called the Taj Mahal -- Persian carpets wall-to-wall! -- if I picked that up for you, would you say, "hey, big spender"? I should mail myself to your address gift-wrapped and shipped by UPS; maybe then you’d finally choose to return to sender. I gave you lots of presents, but you left me in the past.
