No, you're not buying me those cheap dresses,

No, I won't let that cheap salon style my tresses;

No, I'm not wearing that cheap makeup,

I like my face when I wake up.

Do you really think I'd wear that cheap sportswear?

Oh Please!

I like my workouts trendy!

No, you're not taking me to that cheap restaurant

I'd rather go to Alanis Gaunt;

I like my food like Mary Quant!

And if I say no,

And you decide you hate my status Quo,

There is something you need to know;

The truth of it is,

I'm too expensive for you!
