## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
Daniel, *All*

I don't want a girl who gets a car for her sweet sixteen

Or spends a stack of dollar bills on a limousine

I want a girl who takes the bus and who wears baggy jeans

Rockin' Nike Airs (*What the hell are Louboutins?*)

Don't want no fake tan, short skirt, daddy's money don't work

Shop until you drop on the town

I want a smart girl, stronger than her father

Someone who will laugh at tryna fit in the crowd

Jonah

And all we used to dream about

Is getting rich and getting out

Move to the nicer part of town

Where we'd have numbers on our house

It took a while to figure out

What type of girl that I'm about

Who brings the real man out of me, ya

Zach

I don't really want no trust fund baby

I like my women independent

And I say to people, "That's my lady."

And we don't need nothing, e-e-e-lse

Jack

I don't want no trust fund baby

Save your money, don't spend it

And I say to people, "That's my lady."

And we don't need nothing, e-e-e-lse

Cobryn

I don't want a girl who takes selfies, want her make-up-free

Don't want no mean girl lady, a pink prom queen

I want a girl who climbs trees, always dirt on her jeans

Her daddy told her how to fix cars, maybe she could fix me

I want a throwback kid who loves Missy Elliot

Who for my birthday makes a mixtape and puts it on cassette

Want a girl with common sense, who's dripping in confidence

Don't wanna die to get rich but she loves 50 Cent

Jonah

And all we used to dream about

Is getting rich and getting out

Move to the nicer part of town

Where we'd have numbers on our house

It took a while to figure out

What type of girl that I'm about

Who brings the real man out of me

Zach

I don't really want no trust fund baby

I like my women independent

And I say to people, "That's my lady."

And we don't need nothing, e-e-e-lse

Jack

I don't want no trust fund baby

Save your money, don't spend it

And I say to people, "That's my lady."

And we don't need nothing, e-e-e-lse

Jack, Zach, **Daniel**

I don't want no

I don't want no trust fund baby (*No, I don't want me*)

I just want me a proper lady (*No, I don't want me*)

I don't want no trust fund baby (**No, I don't want me**)

Zach, *Daniel*, **All**

I don't really want no trust fund baby

I like my women independent (*Hey!*)

And I say to people, "That's my lady" (**That's my lady, na-na-na-na-na**)

And we don't need nothing, **e-e-e-lse**

Jack, *Jonah*, **Zach**

I don't want no trust fund baby (*No, I don't want me*)

I just want me a proper lady (**No, I don't want me**)

I don't want no trust fund baby (*No, I don't want me*)

(*No, I don't want me*)
