Purple lips, sad face, going on a stupid date
"Give him a chance", her father would say
But she wouldn't want him, no matter the day
Play nice, dress up, don't forget your makeup
You really should impress him, once you take your medicine
Ooh, daddy always had his ideas of being happy
Marry a rich boy, be a rich girl
Buy a big house on top of the world, oh
You'll be a princess, you'll be a queen
But her and her daddy, they never agree, oh
17, it's getting late, so listen to me and do as I say
Baby, you're not gonna make it on your own
Stand tall, suck in, laugh to show you're into him
I heard he's got a million, so be a lady, not a friend
Ooh, daddy always had his ideas of being happy
Marry a rich boy, be a rich girl
Buy a big house on top of the world, oh
You'll be a princess, you'll be a queen
But her and her daddy, they never agree, oh
Marry a rich boy, you'll need the money
So maybe one day, you'll be worth something, honey, oh
Marry a rich boy
Can't you see? He's what you need to live in his society
It's only the reality, baby
Marry a rich boy, be a rich girl
Buy a big house on top of the world, oh
You'll be a princess, you'll be a queen
But her and her daddy, they never agree, oh
Marry a rich boy, you'll need the money
So maybe one day, you'll be worth something, honey, oh
Marry a rich boy
