He can buy the love he needs
Opens doors with all his keys
Takes you where the people know
Wear it like it's yours to own

Lady, when a rich man comes
Take your breath away
Burning like a million suns
Lady, walk away

Sleeps so deeply every night
Watch him like a firefly
Wonder where he's been all day
His hands are clean but he won't say

Lady, when a rich man comes
Take your breath away
Burning like a million suns
Lady, walk away

He held me like a butterfly
In Venice where the gutters shine
I think of him 'most every day
It's not love, it's a quiet pain

Lady, when a rich man comes
Take your breath away
Burning like a million suns
Lady, walk away

Barking dogs don't make a sound
You put your lover in the ground
The big old house it echoes more
Now he won't show up at all

Lady, when a rich man comes
Take your breath away
Burning like a million suns
Lady, walk away

Lady, when a rich man comes
Burning like a million suns

Lady, when a rich man comes
