I understand how inflation works, and I know that coffee crops depend heavily on nature to thrive.

TRIPL3 PLAY: Gwen Stefani-fied

You had me on my knees I'd trade you places any day I'd never thought you could be that way

I give you everything that I am I'm handin' over everything that I've got 'Cause I wanna have a really true love Don't ever wanna have to go and give you up

I thought I was the best thing that ever happened to you I thought you loved me the most
