Music Lyrics

Expensive by Tori Kelly ft. Daye Jack

Let me tell ya baby
Don't need no diamonds on my body
Got no green in my eyes
(Can you feel me, yeah)

Get a brand new Bentley
I'll tell you now it makes no difference
Just want all of your time (yeah yeah yeah)

'Cause you kiss me like I'm dreamin'
Like I'm one in a million
And I think it's time you figured it out, oooh

'Cause I know I got that somethin'
And it won't cost you nothin'
I already feel expensive enough
Turn that gold into dust
That's what matters, matters
Oh yeah yeah yeah

Money don't buy love
Money don't buy love
(No your money don't buy love)
(No your money don't buy love)
(No your money don't buy love)
Your money don't buy love

So call me crazy
No I'm not starin' at your pocket
I ain't diggin' for dimes
(Can you feel me, yeah)

The fact is baby
We've all been taught to chase that dollar
But that's not on my mind (yeah yeah yeah)

'Cause you kiss me like I'm dreamin'
Like I'm one in a million
And I think it's time your figured it out, oooh

'Cause I know I got that somethin'
And it won't cost you nothin'
I already feel expensive enough
Turn that gold into dust

That's what matters, matters
Oh yeah yeah yeah
Money don't buy love
Money don't buy love
(No your money don't buy love)
(No your money don't buy love)
(No your money don't buy love)
Your money don't buy love
Your money don't buy love

But if I had a hundred thousand dollars
If I'm a king, power falling in my pocket
Get a diamond ring for my girl and her mama
Wonder why she still ain't callin'

Do you love me? I'm a man with a problem
Never found love, so went out and I bought it
And my two cents makes sense, I'm talkin'

Hey, girl, I'm here, no wallet
Whatever happened to the love in the moment
A hug and I hold you, a hand to your shoulder, man, to feel closer
Runnin' to the date, number nine, no soda
Grab a milkshake, we'll be dancing, it's over
Grab a milkshake, we'll be dancing, it's over
Grab a milkshake, we'll be dancing, it's over

Heeey yeah yeah
I feel expensive enough
No your money don't buy love
No your money don't buy love
No your money don't buy love
Your money don't buy love

'Cause you kiss me like I'm dreamin'
Like I'm one in a million
And I think it's time your figured it out, oooh

'Cause I know I got that somethin'
And it won't cost you nothin'
I already feel expensive enough
Turn that gold into dust
That's what matters, matters
Oh yeah yeah yeah
Money don't buy love

Alright. First off... TORI KELLY IS FREAKIN AMAZING!!! I don't care what anyone else has to say unless it's agreeing. I absolutely love her! She has been my inspiration since my aunt introduced me to her. The first song I heard by Tori Kelly is called Dear No One and it is also amazing! She is just so friggin talented.

Anyway. On to my opinion on what I think this song means. *takes a deep breath*

This song depicts a love story between a girl (Tori) and a guy (Daye Jack). (This is not a real love story it's just how I interpret the song).

The girl loves the guy for who he is. But because of how he was raised, he thinks she loves him for the money. He seems okay with this and it sounds like he believes that affection is shown through money. Tori is trying to teach him that not everything is about money and she's not a "gold digger"🤑 -> my words not hers.

She just wants them to be happy together. With or without the money.

The rest is to be interpreted by you readers. Now I will say it again... *ahem* TORI KELLY IS FREAKIN AMAZING!!!
