Young Love & Old Money Lyrics

I caught your eye and you caught my attention

You like my style and I love the affection

I live for the days we meet up at our hide out

I've never felt so alive but we're dead if they find out

My father was never your biggest fan

Values the name more than the man

Nobody nobody nobody understands

But oh you taste like wealth

Oh I'd risk my health

For one more day with you

This is a tricky age

We're birds stuck in a cage

Wish I could fly away with you

We fit perfectly like milk and honey

But somethings don't mix like young love and old money

Oh oh old money

Oh oh old money

You right all my wrongs and make all my wrongs right

In the midst of a battle but it's worth the fight

My mother says marry for money

A rich man's jokes are always funny

Nobody nobody nobody knows what I need

But oh you taste like wealth

Oh I'd risk my health

For one more day with you

This is a tricky age

We're birds stuck in a cage

Wish I could fly away with you

We fit perfectly like milk and honey

But somethings don't mix like young love and old money

Oh oh old money

Oh oh old money

Have you heard the news

It's in the Post

I almost called it off

Almost

I said I'd wait for you and didn't keep my promise

When I spoke the words I meant them

Honest

But I met an Ivy League man

My father offered him my hand

You know my appetite is quite expensive

And his summer home is so impressive

You and I were made for a season

Forbidden fruit that I was eating

Oh poor thing don't look so blue

It's what I had to do but

I'll never forget you

Oh you taste like wealth

Oh I'd risk my health

For one more day with you

We fit perfectly like milk and honey

But somethings don't mix like young love and old money

Oh oh old money

Oh oh old money

Oh oh old money

Oh oh old money
