Baby,
my money doesn't go too far,
cause I'm running out of
everything.
Every time I spend a dollar,
I see how little it brings.
I'm not too worried about gas and oil
That ain't what it takes to
make my trip virtual, boy
I ain't worried about what's
happening overseas
Cause I got a large audience,
large audience
Large audience here at home,
on my own
Now there ain't many thing
s that I can't afford
Cause the prices have all
gotten way too high
But I still get the most of what I need
But what I want,
you know I can't buy
Those foreign countries don't bother me
A sweet -talkin' man is just what I need
I can't be bothered with
what's cookin' over there
Cause I got a love shortage,
love shortage,
love shortage
here at home, on my own
Just give me a man who
can love a woman
Cause I'm a woman who knows how to love,
I'm a woman
Just give me a man who
can love a woman
Cause I'm a woman
with a love shortage
Love shot is, love shot is
here at home, on my own
I think I'll go right to my congressman
and tell him just where I stand
I need somebody in Washington,
D .C. to lend a helping hand
Just make my food
stamps good for lunch
Then I can buy what I want for lunch
Ain't got time to worry
about nobody else
Cause I got a love shortage,
love shortage, love shortage
Here at home, on my own
Love shortage, love shortage,
love shortage
here at home, at my home
Baby, my money
doesn't go too far,
cause we're running out
of everything
Every time I spend a dollar,
I see how little it brings
I'm not too worried about gas and oil
That ain't what it takes to
make my temperature bore
I ain't worried about what's overseas
Cause I got a job shortage,
job shortage
I've got a dark chalice, dark chalice,
dark chalice
here at home, on my home,
I've got a dark chalice,
dark chalice,
dark chalice
here at home, on my home,
I've got a dark chalice,
dark chalice,
dark chalice chalice chalice you
