Tonio K - American Love Affair lyrics

Jacob comes from Memphis He's a self-made man Owned half of Tennessee And now he's sold off all his old friends And bought up the past and paid down on you and me Yes and New York may be the new world But she's still a filthy concrete b**h without a soul But it don't matter 'cause Jacob You know he wants her Because he's climbed so high There's nowhere left to go It's an American love affair It's an American dream Somebody said that it's everywhere Nobody's sure what it means But if you wake with your mind on fire Too frightened even to scream It's just an American love affair Just an American dream Sweet Rebecca she's a go-getter She'll tell you that she loves you for a price And she should know better But no one's let her Take the time to think at all Much less think twice And now all the glitter And all the human litter That surround her Seem as normal as the sky And in the morning If you buy her diamonds She will always try to guess How much but never why It's an American love affair ...
