  • The first time that I saw you, you were modestly waiting for a bus
    Now you're driving around in hired limousines
    And you talk so upper class.

    The cost is high, but it's not the only price you ultimately pay
    Add it up, you might have got some money
    But you lost me on the way

    Add it up, oh
    Add it up, oh
    Add it up, oh
    Add it up, oh

    Ah, Gucci, Gucci, Gucci
    Cartier, Cartier
    Gucci, Gucci, Gucci

    Add it up,
    You multiplied and multiplied but what's it leading to?
    Add it up,
    The only thing subtracted is the love I had for you
    So add it up, oh
    Add it up, oh
    Add it up, oh
    Add it up, oh

    Symbols of perversion and insanity
    Symbols of social immorality
    Symbols of economic cruelty
    Symbolize all what you did to me

    Ah, Gucci, Gucci, Gucci
    Cartier, Cartier
    Gucci, Gucci, Gucci
    Cartier, Cartier

    Money can't cover up the fact you're getting older every day
    And you can't disguise your sad little eyes that give your loneliness away

    Add it up, oh
    Add it up, oh
    Add it up, oh Writer/s: DAVIES
