In My Chest

As I'm searching and a lookin',
I see what it is,
A special kinda box- now mine- it's'a tookin,
Locked away inside, concealed itis,

So many things could be inside,
Lets crack it open,
Now it's open wide,
And boy, I'm notta mopin,

So many things it could've been,
But it is what i wanted it to have been-for me,
I'll use it everyday to say to all the men,
Today, I found love, and love is good for me, 

For, you see, I'm rich!
As rich as rich can be!
I'm not a snitch,
But today, I can pay my fee... with love!
