I had a dime
for every time you made me cry
I'd be the richest girl alive,
the richest girl alive
I'll have to buy and a quarter
For doing things I shouldn't order
I'll be the richest girl alive
Baby, the richest girl alive
Though you hurt me, hurt me
I keep hoping, praying
That I'll change you, change you
Meanwhile I'll have
to keep on paying
And dime, and a dollar,
every time I heard you holler
I mean, the richest girl alive,
yeah, the richest girl alive
And in a sense,
I could have had myself a little mint
I mean, the richest girl alive,
baby, the richest girl alive
Oh, you've hurt me, hurt me
I still need and I love you
I keep hoping and I'm praying, baby
Yes, that's why we keep on staying
Oo h
I know that you hurt me, if you hurt me
I still need and I, I love you
I'm hoping and I'm praying baby
It's worth while I keep on staying,
yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, oo h, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
The richest, the richest,
the richest girl alive
Give me them nickels,
give me the cents
Give me anything you can spend, baby
I'm the richest, I'm the richest,
I'm the richest girl alive
