Just A Budget Meeting Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Back in the day
With so much debt
And bills to pay
We spent before we earned it
We had enough, you see
This stress was killing you and me
But budgeting, we learned it
Now, we’ve planned our priorities, oh, oh
We’ll be living life debt free, oh, oh
Let’s have a date this Sunday night
To budget our funds, our funds
[Chorus]
Just a budget meeting
Just to focus both of us
And we know that we’re not broke, what we've spent
Is what we budgeted to spend
We’ll do our part
We’ll prioritize to start, it’s an art
We’re not broke, what we spent
Is what we budgeted to spend
[Verse 2]
I’m sorry that I overspent
My category’s in the red
I bought this game on Prime
(Oh, we went over this)
But wait, now what was this you spent?
Your Target run wrecked everything
These throw pillows weren’t mine
(Yeah, our couch was boring)
When did you move all this money, oh oh
To home decor away from me, oh oh
This house belongs to you and me
Let’s give it some funds, funds, funds
Oh, we’re two, not one
Back in the day
With so much debt
And bills to pay
We spent before we earned it
We had enough, you see
This stress was killing you and me
But budgeting, we learned it
Now, we’ve planned our priorities, oh, oh
We’ll be living life debt free, oh, oh
Let’s have a date this Sunday night
To budget our funds, our funds
[Chorus]
Just a budget meeting
Just to focus both of us
And we know that we’re not broke, what we've spent
Is what we budgeted to spend
We’ll do our part
We’ll prioritize to start, it’s an art
We’re not broke, what we spent
Is what we budgeted to spend
[Verse 2]
I’m sorry that I overspent
My category’s in the red
I bought this game on Prime
(Oh, we went over this)
But wait, now what was this you spent?
Your Target run wrecked everything
These throw pillows weren’t mine
(Yeah, our couch was boring)
When did you move all this money, oh oh
To home decor away from me, oh oh
This house belongs to you and me
Let’s give it some funds, funds, funds
Oh, we’re two, not one
[Chorus]
Just a budget meeting
Just to focus both of us
And we’ll know that we’re not broke, what we’ve spent
Is what we budgeted to spend
We are a team
When we do it, yeah we do it stress free
'Cause we know what we’ve spent
Is what we budgeted to spend
[Bridge]
We’ve built up this trust
Rolled with every punch
It’s strengthening us
And we’ve saved so much
We’re buying a house
We fixed our old car
‘Cause I’m better when you budget with me
Let’s go team
[Chorus]
Just a budget meeting
Just to focus both of us
And we’ll know that we’re not broke, what we’ve spent
Is what we budgeted to spend
We’ll do our part
We’ll prioritize to start, it’s an art
‘Cause we know what we’ve spent
Is what we budgeted to spend
Just a budget meeting
Just to focus both of us
And we’ll know that we’re not broke, what we’ve spent
Is what we budgeted to spend
We are a team
When we do it, yeah we do it stress free
‘Cause we know what we’ve spent
Is what we budgeted to spend
Oh, we’re budgeting again
Oh, we’re tracking what we spend
Oh, oh, we’re not broke, what we’ve spent
Is what we budgeted to spend
Just a budget meeting
Just to focus both of us
And we’ll know that we’re not broke, what we’ve spent
Is what we budgeted to spend
We are a team
When we do it, yeah we do it stress free
'Cause we know what we’ve spent
Is what we budgeted to spend
[Bridge]
We’ve built up this trust
Rolled with every punch
It’s strengthening us
And we’ve saved so much
We’re buying a house
We fixed our old car
‘Cause I’m better when you budget with me
Let’s go team
[Chorus]
Just a budget meeting
Just to focus both of us
And we’ll know that we’re not broke, what we’ve spent
Is what we budgeted to spend
We’ll do our part
We’ll prioritize to start, it’s an art
‘Cause we know what we’ve spent
Is what we budgeted to spend
Just a budget meeting
Just to focus both of us
And we’ll know that we’re not broke, what we’ve spent
Is what we budgeted to spend
We are a team
When we do it, yeah we do it stress free
‘Cause we know what we’ve spent
Is what we budgeted to spend
Oh, we’re budgeting again
Oh, we’re tracking what we spend
Oh, oh, we’re not broke, what we’ve spent
Is what we budgeted to spend
About
Genius Annotation
This song is inspired by P!nk’s “Just Give Me a Reason,” ft. Nate Ruess.
As a parody, the melody, music, and instruments are all the same as the original, while the lyrics are different.
Note: YNAB (You Need A Budget) is a budgeting tool, so this song, along with the whole album, talks about budgeting, spending money, and all of the company’s philosophy.
The song is about a couple reminiscing of the bad days, when they didn’t budget and debt was stressing them. Now they have regular budget meetings to talk about their expenses, and plan accordingly.
