I just wanna be the breadwinner and buy dinner
Then go back to your place and make face
Wanna lay up in the bed with you, I figured
If this was your pace, guess I'll save face
(Save face, yeah, yeah)
I wanna be the breadwinner, yeah
The breadwinner, yeah (yeah)
I wanna be the breadwinner, yeah
The breadwinner, yeah
I been on 50 first dates with 21 questions
Like, "How's the food taste?"
But I got a confession
One night and I'm gone
It's been this way since 21, yeah, yeah, oh
I just wanna be the breadwinner and buy dinner (yeah, yeah)
Then go back to your place and make face (your place, make face)
Wanna lay up in the bed with you, I figured
If this was your pace, guess I'll save face
(Save face, save face, yeah, yeah)
Okay, long as I could remember, been the man of the house
How I'm supposed to have you livin' hand to your mouth?
Amount of times they done had to ban my accounts
Where the check land, I could understand if you bounce
Chatting with your friends, they got plans for a house
You know we'd probably have a better chance in the south
Get a mansion, flowers, and the plants all around
With a fountain in the front
And mountains in the tuck
You tell me you ain't really for the glitz or the glamor
Or the flick of the camera
You rather me invest my days and waste dollars
In fact, I had no dough when I hollered
Ironic I wanted the brioche, pita, ciabatta
Your mama said you needed me most when I forgot you
(I just wanna show you that I appreciate you, you know?)
It's not just some insecure, it's a you-deserve-more
Like trips to shores we only seen in brochures
Like this from stores, like a dinner, seven-course
When it rains, it pours, and especially on the poor
I'm sure, with me, eventually, you'll get bored
And them brothers with the bag gon' be hard to ignore
Now every time I call you up, I
Tell myself I can't afford to fall in love again (woo)
At least until I meet my ends
I just wanna be the breadwinner and buy dinner
Then go back to your place and make face
Wanna lay up in the bed with you, I figured
If this was your pace, guess I'll save face (save face, yeah, yeah)
I wanna be the breadwinner, yeah
The breadwinner, yeah (yeah)
I wanna be the breadwinner, yeah
The breadwinner, yeah
(Yeah, that's the take)
(Alright, yeah, we're good, we're good)
