Garbage Picker

Lyrics Information

you said you'd love me deeply
and I'd call you my queen
I remember when you told me
I had the finest goods
you've ever seen
my debonair style impressed you
so you kept asking where I shopped
but that day you saw me diggin' by the roadside
was the day our romance stopped
you shouted
garbage picker, garbage picker, garbage picker
garbage picker, garbage picker, garbage picker
garbage picker, garbage picker, garbage picker
garbage picker, garbage picker, garbage picker
I find my own treasures
in other people's trash
you measured your own pleasure by my treasures
til you measured them against my cash
garbage picker, garbage picker, garbage picker
garbage picker, garbage picker, garbage picker
garbage picker, garbage picker, garbage picker
garbage picker [pick it]
everytime I see your car drive by
that name echoes through my brain
and the tears fill my eyes
you wish you found out quicker
you say I didn't tell the truth
okay, I admit, I'm a garbage picker
I guess that's why I picked you
I thought I saw something shining
beneath your superficial dirt
your new hidden treasure
so next time, I'll leave you at the curb
garbage picker, garbage picker, garbage picker
garbage picker, garbage picker, garbage picker
garbage picker, garbage picker, garbage picker
garbage picker, garbage picker, garbage picker
garbage picker
