'loveometer'

Love doesn't pay the bills 
Neither does it make the meals 
Love is real but currency changes how we feel 
About moving up emotional hills
Resulting to cautious gearing of our love wheels 

The 'LoveOmeter' level changes 
By accelerating through our purses
So are other charges 
Renewing the engine oil 

We now crave love that currency decides
By shaming Tony Montana
For Mary Kay's creation 
Our ability to buy more gains us attention
Alas! We built on falsehood 

Many have strayed from our mothers' ways
Where currency doesn't decide the movement of their 'LoveOmeter'
Panties are voodoo into German four wheels
The love that currency decide is a sham that birth emotional ills
