[Verse 1]
Been loading up on coins
From the laundry I ain′t been doing
Oh, God you know I look like hell since I lost her love
Reading all the modern tabloids
Looking for a story to get me through it
Oh, God you know I look like hell since I lost her love

[Chorus]
Spare change will bring me freedom
And clean clothes will buy me love
Woah darlin since you been leaving me
I been gettin' on better than ever before
I drove out to San Diego
And I slept by the ocean shore
And I watched the moon sink below the water
And I heard a voice from above, singing
"You don't need her lovin′ to know you're loved"
Oh, I don't need your lovin′ to know I′m loved

[Verse 2]
Well. if that's the case
Then I don′t know nothin' bout love
But I guess I′ll get along okay
Even if I only got pennies to my name
[Chorus]
'Cause spare change will bring me freedom
And clean clothes will buy me love
Woah woah darlin' since you been leaving me
I been gettin' on better than ever before
I drove out to San Diego
And I slept by the ocean shore
And I watched the moon sink below the water
And I heard a voice from above
Singing, "you don′t need her lovin' to know you're loved"
Oh, I don′t need your lovin′ to know I'm loved

[Bridge]
I need something better to hold onto
More than hope but girl not you
God, not love, what it put me through
Is far too much to bear again
I′ll light up my lovin' and head to the coast
Load all my luggage and I′ll give it a go
And stop waiting around on the girl I know
Is never gonna fall for me

[Chorus]
Spare change will bring me freedom
And clean clothes will buy me love
Woah darlin' since you been leaving me
I been gettin' on better than ever before
I drove out to Boulder, Colorado
And I fell outta love with you
And I watched TV from the parking lot
And I thought about singing, "Ready or not
I′m saving up and chasing something
That's bigger than you and me
Oh, underneath the mountain sunset
I'm finally starting to see
That I don′t need your lovin′ to know I'm loved."
Oh, I don′t need your lovin' to know I′m loved
