Greedy Gus

About wanting nice things A gift now and then won’t hurt you But being ignored really stings Don’t you know that You can’t take it with you What are you saving for? You can’t take it with you Don’t I deserve more? You got Mickey Dee tastes But I have way more class So don’t be so greedy Or I’m leaving your ass Don’t wanna greedy Gus No need to be greedy Don’t wanna greedy Gus Makes a girl feel needy No no no no Make me feel sexy Show me what I’m worth Make me feel wanted The best woman on earth Don’t be a greedy Gus No need to be greedy Don’t be a greedy Gus Show me you need me No no no no

Lyrics

No no no no
So you think you’re a big shot
So you think you’re all that
Boy have I got news for you
Your moves are all flat
You say you can buy it all
Nothing that ya can’t afford
But you’re cheap as hell
And you’re making me bored
Don’t you know that
You can’t take it with you
What are you saving for?
You can’t take it with you
Don’t I deserve more?
You got Mickey Dee tastes
But I have way more class
So don’t be so greedy
Or I’m leaving your ass
Don’t wanna greedy Gus
No need to be greedy
Don’t wanna greedy Gus
Makes a girl feel needy
No no no no
So you think you’re God’s gift
So you think you’re the tops
But if you don’t want to spoil
You better think again, pops
I know all about give and take
I’m all for things being fair
A good girl wants a good man
A real man that likes to share
Don’t you know that
You can’t take it with you
What are you saving for?
You can’t take it with you
Don’t I deserve more?
You got Mickey Dee tastes
But I have way more class
So don’t be so greedy
Or I’m leaving your ass
Don’t wanna greedy Gus
No need to be greedy
Don’t wanna greedy Gus
Makes a girl feel needy
No no no no
So you think you’re the greatest
Bet ya think you’re so funny
Ya forgot how the saying goes

Behind the Music

Composer’s Thoughts

So this was a fine line I had to walk here, because the point isn’t about a woman who feels entitled to a man’s money. That’s not the point at all. It’s about effort, context, care, sharing, and reciprocity. Where “One Way Street” is a song from the male perspective, this is the same from the female POV. It’s about SHARING and CARING. The lyrics are very clear it’s not about her not giving back, but about the thought and effort of a good man who wants a loving partner.

Gianna’s Thoughts

This song is totally me. I am not afraid to go dutch, or even spring for dates myself. But the effort must be mutual. Nobody wants to be with someone who’s greedy and only thinks of themselves. That kind of attitude will not win any hearts. This song threads the needle in such a gool way, and it was so much fun to do.
