Baby this ole house is cold 
And the pipes are ‘bout to bust
All the furniture’s worn out 
But we ain’t that hard up
We’re down to our last dollar
Three days before pay day
But you always tide me over
With your gentle embrace  (or: ev’ry night when you say…)

CHORUS:
WE’RE LOVING BEYOND OUR MEANS
AND OH IT FEELS SO RIGHT
JUST A COUPLE OF KISSES TURN ON THE MOON
AND IT DON’T COST US A DIME
EVEN IF WE TAKE LOVE TO EXTREMES  
WHO CARES WE’RE LOVING BEYOND OUR MEANS
(or last two lines of chorus
Yeah we might hafta live within our dreams
But at night we’re loving beyond our means
 

I don’t need no fancy wine   or: I don’t need a dozen candles
Or expensive champagne
Baby the minute you touch me
All my wants just melt away
We’ve stretched our credit 
To the max on our Master card
But in our Master bedroom 
Baby our hearts are in charge

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Baby there’s no limit
We can reach for the stars
Put our hearts in it
Cause no matter how broke we are

REPEAT CHORUS

LOVING BEYOND OUR MEANS, YEAH
