Jogo do Amor

I was born poor, but I wasn't born dumb
I know all the street games they play
Every place that I've passed through
I've always cared for people along the way

Dressed sharp with a fresh haircut
Plus I'm a fan of Marvin Gaye
Always suited with just a few bucks
To praise the crown of my king each day

I was born poor, but I wasn't born dumb
That's exactly why I've never fallen in love
I was born poor, but I wasn't born dumb
That's the only reason I've never been in love

I never forget my old friends
Or all the people I used to play with
Manipulating minds comes expensive
That's why I've never fallen for it

In the game of love, it's good to try
Through experience, I tried and got it right
Radical thrills feel real nice
But you might just get hurt in the fight

The love game can suddenly turn
To a gamble with nothing left to learn
Shoutout to the crew watching moonlight burn
Partied all night by the shore in turn

With blue skies and champagne to celebrate
I was born poor, but I wasn't born dumb
That's exactly why I've never fallen in love
I was born poor, but I wasn't born dumb
That's the only reason I've never been in love
