Delta Goodrem - Billionaire Lyrics

I didn't drink 'til I was twenty-seven
That day I went to numb the pain inside me
The emptiness was showing
The hate around me growing
I thought I had to bury my self-worth

The boulevard of broken dreams was building
The whiskey kept on turning into wine
Some people started asking
Oh, where was all this going?
Then tried to pull the wool over my eyes

I've always been a lady
And that always saved me
I had to see the other side

My mama said, "Go marry rich, girl
It'll take your problems all away"
But I lead life with my heart
And the world's not always fair
I'm gonna make myself that billionaire

I've never been impressed with money or power
'Cause I thought I'd be the one to rule the world
So many men would tell me
It would be the gifts they gave me
But that just don't make them my Mr. Right

My name is Delta lady
You can't try to change me
I'll give you many reasons why

My mama said, "Go marry rich, girl
It'll take your problems all away"
But I lead life with my heart
And the world's not always fair
I'm gonna make myself that billionaire

He said, "Baby hold my hand"
I'm not your baby, understand
I'm gonna need a grown-ass man
Who takes me for who I am

My mama said, "Go marry rich, girl
It'll take your problems all away"
But I lead life with my heart
Though the world's not always fair
I'm gonna make myself that billionaire

Shake that wannabe
You're only gonna end up lonely
He's no good you see
The real ones love unconditionally
You got to shake that wannabe
You're only gonna end up lonely
