You wanted me for what I could give you
You needed me just to make it through
You loved me for the promise of lifestyle
You went along with my big boy smile
It’s a very strange thing this
Beneficial love
Such a cruel thing this
Mercenary love
You used me even while I forgave you
You came through just that you weren’t true
I gave me for the promise of likewise
You went along with my big brown eyes
It’s a disarranged thing this
Beneficial love
Such a fool thing this
Mercenary love
You wanted me gone, that’s what I could give you
You no-more need me because you grew
You’d love me to know the lure of lifestyle
You’ll go along just as long as I smile
It’s a crazy change thing this
Beneficial love
Such a mule thing this
Mercenary love
