Story Behind the Song
Does she actually like him, or is she just being seduced by his money? Is he corrupted by his own financial standing? There's a dilemma, and it needs to be resolved. A lively song with an addictive melody.
Lyrics
Material thing, I watch her swing, from him to you
Material girl, she wants the world - you know it's true
Hand on her heart, she's touching the right side
- it doesn't beat
She'll tear you apart - when she can't decide
she votes with her feet
But I love you, I really do
I love you, can't help myself
And I love you, it's false and it's true
I love you, I really do
Material deeds, they plant the seeds to a better life style
Material boy, will make you her toy - for a short while
She calls you 'Baby,' that's what she'll say
to keep your brains in your jeans
Well she'll be your lady, as long as you play
- if you know what she means
But I love you, I really do
I love you, can't help myself
And I Love you, it's false and it's true
I love you, I really do
She doesn't really want you
She doesn't like I do
She doesn't and never will
She doesn't, I love you still
But I love you, I really do
I love you, can't help myself
And I love you, it's false and it's true
I love you, I really do
