It’s All About Dollars & Cents (Neil Cotton)

http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=12683404

The time has come we should move on
cause love no longer is in our hearts
Living together isn’t what we want
But we can’t afford to live apart

We just live together
It’s not what we’d rather
It’s all dollars and cents
We’re no longer lovers
It’s a practical matter
It’s all about dollars and cents

I work 5 nights every week,
We pass at the door cause you work days
When I’m awake you are fast asleep
We’re now more different than the same


We just live together
It’s not what we’d rather
It’s dollars and cents
We’re no longer lovers
It’s a practical matter
It’s all about dollars and cents

We can share the kitchen and facilities
Cause no one’s there when we have the need
We moved in ‘cause we believed in our love
But these mixed up lives have messed that up


We just live together
It’s not what we’d rather
It’s dollars and cents
We’re no longer lovers
It’s a practical matter
It’s all about dollars and cents.

I like this, Neil. Just a couple of things I would do differently. I wouldn't use the title in the third line of the chorus. And I don't love the word "facilities". Other than that, it's cool

Neil isn't listed as deceased on JPF yet. Until then, I'll consider him alive and writing.
