lyrics

You got the action figure set with the castle
You got your legos strewn all over the rug
You got electric train, you got the Tarzan and Jane
You got the miniature VW bug
You got the mini-golf course out at the mansion
You got a hundred-fifty G.I. Joes
You got the light brite on, you got the stretch armstrong
I sure wish I had me one of those

Well you taunt me with your toys,
Yeah, with everything that you bought
Yes I can’t help but envy your fine situation, baby
All I want is everything you got.

You got your daddy paying your way through college
You got no worries long as you behave
You walk on easy street with your easy feet
You gonna walk it all the way to your grave

Well you taunt me with your toys,
Yeah, with everything that you bought
Yes I can’t help but envy your fine situation, baby
All I want is everything you got.

You make me green with envy knowing you never had to work too hard
You make me lose the forest for the trees in your backyard
You never end what you begin, no, you let it all sit there and rot
And though your grass looks a whole lot greener,
When I mow my lawn, I give it everything I got

You got the television bigger than Elvis
You got the thousand dollar cellular phone
You got the chauffeur on call, you got the charity ball
But you never done a thing on your own

You got computer printer monitor modem
You got a catalog to service your needs
You got everything that success can bring
Without ever having to succeed

Well you taunt me with your toys,
You are everything that I’m not
And while I envy the bread you got lying around
And I covet the color you been painting the town
I pity the way that you bring yourself down
Because all you are is everything you got.
