I had the girl you dream about
The lover man can't live without
But I just had to know about
How the other half lives
The money come, the money go
Still she stuck by, she loves me so
But foolish me, I had to know
How the other half lives
So I said goodbye
And left her there
For the world so rich and gay
The upper class
They took me in
I wish they'd turned me away
Now I've got money I can burn
But her love's gone and won't return
It didn't take me long to learn
How the other half lives
So I said goodbye
And left her there
For the world so rich and gay
The upper class
They took me in
I wish they'd turned me away
Now I've got money I can burn
But her love's gone and won't return
It didn't take me long to learn
How the other half lives
