Material Things
Mel Waiters

What would you rather have
material things
or someone who cares
someone who cares

We first met baby
You said you only wanted a fling
Said you had a good man
And he gave you everything
But sometimes I was so ashamed
To meet you in my little truck
You see your car that your man bought you
The kind of job I have doesn't pay enough

But when it comes to true love
I'm worth more than gold
So you really need to ask yourself girl
Down in your soul

What would you rather have
material things
or someone who cares
someone who cares
What would you rather have
material things
or someone who's there
someone who's there

But at times when I call you at home
You're sad you're upset
He's never ever home 
All you do is take the kids to school
But you're right back and you're home alone
You say he's workin overtime baby
to give you nice things
But when your man don't spend time with you
Material things don't mean a damn thing

But when it comes to true love
I'm worth more than gold
So you really need to ask yourself girl
Down in your soul

What would you rather have
material things
or someone who cares
someone who cares
What would you rather have
material things
or someone who's there
someone who's there
