I Never Wanted a Rich Man Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I never wanted a rich man
Just someone with soul
It was on the day I met you
I vowed to never let you go

I never knew much about romance
Always used my lucky charms
I learned it all in just one lesson
When you first held me in your arms

[Chorus]
Open up your heart
Let me inside
If you listen to your intuition
We'll have a chance tonight

Keep me in your heart
And hold on tight
If you read into my invitation
We'll find our way tonight

[Verse 2]
I put away all my heroes
And all the lovers I have known
Even though I've had my share
I've spent too many nights alone
Don't need to look for fame or fortune
I have found my paradise
You've got the whole world in your hands
And a fortune in your eyes

[Chorus]
Open up your heart
Let me inside
If you listen to your intuition
We'll have a chance tonight

Keep me in your heart
And hold on tight
If you read into my invitation
We'll find our way tonight

[Bridge]
On the day I met you
I vowed to never let you go

[Chorus]
Open up your heart
Let me inside
If you listen to your intuition
We'll have a chance tonight
Keep me in your heart
And hold on tight
If you read into my invitation
We'll find our way tonight

[Outro]
Open up your heart
Let me inside
If you listen to your intuition
We'll find our way tonight

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
