it never meant that much to me Lyrics

The life I used to have was by any standards fine

I travelled all around the world

I made my money

But ain't it funny

It never meant that much to me

The best hotels became the only home I knew

All expenses covered by my fee

I had a ball

I blew it all but

It never meant that much to me

And if you ever have that itch

To work your ass off and get rich

Ask yourself

Will all that wealth

Change the fact that life's a bitch

When I look back upon the good times that I had

There's one thing left that still rings true

I spent my money when I should have spent my time

With my family and with you

Friends and lovers came and went

Fleeting pleasure all they meant

It cost a ton, but

We had some fun

It never meant that much to me

And when they left me in the lurch

Still had my family and my church

It filled the hole

Down in my soul

That's what meant so much to me

It never meant that much to me

My only wish was to be free

The times I had

The good and bad

It never meant that much to me
