Silver Spoon

Rewrite of Kiss song by the same name

 

I ain't lookin' to hook up

With any ole redneck fool

You can save that dead end shh

For someone else

I ain't gonna be pressured

Into making no desperate, lonely female move

I ain't taking

Just any gentleman's sweet invite

Tell any poor man who tries

Oh no won't be breakin' thru

To this cold, cold heart of mine

Cause I don't need nobody

If their wallet ain't nice and fat

Gonna follow what good ole daddy once said

He said...

 

Girl, you gotta marry

A man born with a silver spoon

No man goin' nowhere

So just you search that crowded room

Till you find

Till you see

That snobby attitude

In their eyes

That's when you'll know for sure

When you see one

With slick charm

Who's never in his life

Ever had to apologize

You'll know he's the one

For my special little girl

The man born with the silver spoon

 

In the city

The big, big city

Ooh that's where my hopes rise

For a lover

Not just a simple face

His mama may not like it

But when my rich baby dies

I'm gonna  be the one

To get everything

In the place

Ain't ever gonna settle for just

A plain working somebody

Gonna follow what good ole daddy once said

He said...

 

Girl, you gotta marry

A man born with a silver spoon

No man goin' nowhere

So just you search that crowded room

Till you find

Till you see

That snobby attitude

In their eyes

That's when you'll know for sure

When you see one

With slick charm

Who's never in his life

Ever had to apologize

You'll know he's the one

For my special little girl

The man born with the silver spoon

Cause all that's good enough

For a sweet baby girl like you

A man born with a silver spoon

 

I just know

Tonight's gonna be the night

This gold digger finds

Her Mr. Moneybags

I can just picture him now

So fine and generous

In my head

Not just another working class nobody

Gonna follow what good ole daddy once said

He said.... 

 

Girl, you gotta marry

A man born with a silver spoon

No man goin' nowhere

So just you search that crowded room

Till you find

Till you see

That snobby attitude

In their eyes

That's when you'll know for sure

When you see one

With slick charm

Who's never in his life

Ever had to apologize

You'll know he's the one

For my special little girl

The man born with the silver spoon
