Story Behind The Song
Dating in LA was frustrating for me since I don't make a lot of money and would go out with girls who would not give me a chance, based on my current status of income. It was dissapointing.

Lyrics
(Updated Lyrics, not yet on recording)
I was working at the mall serving lemonade
Saw this pretty girl and was hopin' she would look my way
Cause I was just wishin' for one quick second, she would take a glance
But who am I kiddin', she's outta my league and lots of girls don't give me a chance
Cause I'm makin' little money, I do have a job but I don't have security
Sometimes it gets to me
Chorus: I just wanna find a girl who loves a man not for what he has
But for his whole heart and mind
She don't care about the car he drives,
If he goes to work in a suit and tie
She knows that's not what defines...the good man inside, the good man inside
I was watchin' TV just the other day
There's too many stupid shows on I have to say,
About women wanting men for love or money
I know this reality of our society
But it's such a shame, who's to blame? I must complain
Sometimes it gets to me
Chorus: I just know there are more girls who love a man not for what he has
But for his whole heart and mind
They don't care about his wallet's size,
Material things money can buy
They know that's not what defines...the good man inside, the good man inside
Bridge: Maybe I've got it all wrong
These money hungry girls ain't in 'My' league
Cause the kinds of things that they want
Are not what true love is to me
Chorus: I just wanna find a girl who loves a man not for what he has
But for his whole heart and mind
She only cares for a loyal man
Who works an honest job and loves his woman
She knows that's what defines...the good man inside, the good man inside,
The good man inside, the good man inside
