Roberto, those lines are difficult to decipher. After listening repeatedly and 'time stretching', my best bet is that the lines could be:

She don't let me have my boneless meat (x2)
She never let me spend my money next week

That is only a guess, but whatever I reckon the words he is singing begin with 'b' and 'm' - neither of them is 'love'.

Regards, Stewie.
