What D'Ya Got

WHAT D’YA GOT
My girl worries that the worst is comin’
How can we live on next to nothin’?
She's busy stretchin’ out every dollar
No more gourmet coffee or bottled water

WHAT D’YA GOT WHEN THE WELL RUNS DRY
WHAT D’YA GOT WHEN YOU CAN’T GET BY
WHAT D’YA GOT WHEN THE MORTGAGE RISES
UN ACCOUNTABLY
WHAT D’YA GOT WHEN THE CUPBOARDS BARE
WHAT D’YA GOT IN THE FRIGIDAIRE
WHAT D’YA GOT WHEN THERE’S NOTHIN’ THERE
BABY YOU GOT ME

My kids focus too much on pleasure
Think dad’s sittin’ on a buried treasure
I gotta message that might surprise them
When their old man can’t subsidize them

WHAT D’YA GOT WHEN THE CHECKS ALL BOUNCE
WHAT D’YA GOT KID THAT REALLY COUNTS
WHAT D’YA GOT WHEN THE BANKS ANNOUNCE YOUR A
LIABILITY
WHAT D’YA GOT WHEN YOU’RE OVER DRAWN
WHAT D’YA GOT WHEN YOUR CREDIT’S GONE
WHAT D’YA GOT THAT KEEPS HANGIN’ ON
BABY YOU GOT ME

Guess I made a promise back when she was twenty three
I’d be there to answer every call
Even though I couldn’t see that there’d be times like these
I have learned what to say, it’s been my way to say it all

WHAT D'YA GOT WHEN YOU'RE OVER DRAWN
WHAT D'YA GOT WHEN YOUR CREDIT'S GONE
WHAT D'YA GOT THAT KEEPS HANGIN' ON
FOR ETERNITY
WHAT D'YA GOT WHEN IT'S ALL A MESS
WHAT D'YA GOT NOW THAT'S NOT WORTH LESS
WHAT D'YA GOT now they repossess
BABY YOU GOT ME


WHAT D'YA GOT WHEN IT TURNS PITCH BLACK
WHAT D'YA GOT WHEN THERE'S NO PROZAC
WHAT D'YA GOT WHEN YOU AIN’T GOT JACK
BABY CAN’T YOU SEE
WHAT D'YA GOT WHEN YOUR DREAMS GET SQUASHED
WHAT D'YA GOT WHEN YOUR WIRES GET CROSSED
WHAT D'YA GOT THAT JUST WON'T GET LOST
BABY YOU GOT ME
