Copied from http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/angiestone/bottlescans.html BOTTLES & CANS (Gerald Isaac) Everybody wants some type of success in life, Like every woman wants to one day be a wife. Your success is measured, but to a degree, 'Cause all the money in the world don't add up to you and me. CHORUS: I'd rather be pickin' up bottles and cans If you can't be my man. I'd rather be homeless in the street With no food to eat. I'd rather be facing twenty to life If I can't be your wife. Now I know that it seems like I'm crazy for you. That's what love can do. Look at what you started. There's no way this can end, Because I've fallen in love, but how deep did I fall in? If anything should ever stand in our way, I wouldn't wait till tomorrow, but I'd throw it away today. CHORUS I'd rather be pickin' up bottles and cans, Pickin' up cans baby, oh, yeah, yeah. I'd rather be homeless in the street With no food to eat.. I'd rather be facing twenty to life... Now I know that it seems like I'm crazy for you That's what love can do. It just ain't money (Without) There is no home (Without you) It's no crime, baby (Without) Who is everyone (Without you) It's no career (Without) It's not sincere (Without you) These diamonds don't shine (Without) Whoa (That's what love can do) CHORUS TWICE [Sung by Angie Stone on "Mahogany Soul"] |
