$14 Coffee

I've been counting pennies most of my life
Been spending a lifetime, rubbing nickels into dimes
Holding onto bills like they're the last ones I'll ever hold

Now I've got this girl who drives to Target in the rush hour traffic
Doesn't seem to mind all the gas that she's burning at the red lights
On that 20 minute, three-mile drive

And suddenly spending 14 dollars on a seven dollar coffee
Seems pretty cheap, yeah, it seems alright with me
And I'd wait hours in a drive through line
If it means I was the reason my girl smiled

Every time I try to sit her down to talk about our finances
She says, "Honey, if I know one thing
This money, it don't follow you to Heaven
So, you might as well spend it all right now"

Oh, she's got this funny
Funny way of talking
That makes me forget all of my reason and my logic
And I'd spend all my hard-earned money, just to hear some more

And suddenly spending 14 dollars on a seven dollar coffee
Seems pretty cheap, yeah, it seems alright with me
And I'd wait hours in a drive through line
If it means I was the reason my girl smiled

And, ooh-ooh, the things I do for love
And, ooh-ooh, the money I've spent on my love

And suddenly spending 14 dollars on a seven dollar coffee
Seems pretty cheap, yeah, it seems alright with me
And I'd wait hours in a drive through line
If it means I was the reason my girl smiled
