Always Hungry

I wonder if she had said that she loved me Only because I had a stability, And because I owned my own car and home And because from one bar to another I didn't roam. Or maybe because I received a weekly check Or maybe because my life wasn't a wreck, And maybe it was because I always paid my bills And I was never needing or wanting alcohol, weed or pills. Maybe it was just because I bought her things Clothes, presents and pearl earrings, Or maybe it was just because I saw her as pretty and petite Or maybe because I never abused or lied or did cheat. Maybe it was just because I had always put her first And at her I never did swear, accuse or cursed, Or maybe the true reason that she said that she loved me Was because I had money and her stomach was empty.
