Your Dad Was Correct Video (MV)

You heard your dad saying when you were just a girl
"Money is not the biggest thing in this world
Life is profound, life is immense
Life is too large to count dollars and cents"

But you don't really care for unsolicited advice
When you've found the man whose riches will suffice
And the moment has come and you have to decide:
Real money or happiness - that's what's on the line

Wake up call, you are no longer young
Shiny things and exotics are wearing you down
Lost your love, lost your way in pursuit of respect
Now you know that your dad was correct

You feel fine, now don't you? At your twenty-eight
You've got everything that you could possibly crave
You've got looks, you've got manners, you're in the spotlight
Got it all but something just doesn't feel right

Now it's time to admit it, the time to atone
You wake up and you feel like you're always alone
So how long will it take before you confess
That you can't buy you love and you can't sell success

Wake up call, you are no longer young
Shiny things and exotics are wearing you down
Lost your love, lost your way in pursuit of respect
Now you know that your dad was correct

But you're hook, line and sinker, it's all bait-and-switch
You will always belong to the one who is rich
And it only gets harder over the years
But you keep pushing through and you smile through the tears

Wake up call, you are no longer young
Shiny things and exotics are wearing you down
Lost your love, lost your way
In pursuit of respect
Now you know that your dad was correct

Wake up call, you are no longer young
Shiny things and exotics are wearing you down
Lost your love, lost your way
In pursuit of respect
Now you know that your dad was correct
Don't you know now that he was correct
Oh, you know that your dad was correct
