.
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
[repeat]
.
