Add It Up Lyrics by The Kinks

Give the People What They Want

1981

The first time that I saw you
You were modestly waiting for a bus
Now you're driving 'round in hired limousines
And you talk so upper class
The cost is high
But it's not the only price you ultimately pay
Add it up, you might have got some money
But you lost me on the way
Add it up, oh
Add it up, oh
Add it up, oh
Add it up, oh
Ah, Gucci, Gucci, Gucci
Cartier, Cartier
Gucci, Gucci, Gucci
Add it up
You multiplied and multiplied but what's it leading to?
Add it up
The only thing subtracted is the love I had for you
So add it up, oh
Add it up, oh
Add it up, oh
Add it up, oh
Symbols of perversion and insanity
Symbols of social immorality
Symbols of economic cruelty
Symbolized by what you did to me
Ah, Gucci, Gucci, Gucci
Cartier, Cartier
Gucci, Gucci, Gucci
Cartier, Cartier
Money can't cover up the fact
You're getting older every day
And you can't disguise your sad little eyes
That give your loneliness away
Add it up, oh
Add it up, oh
Add it up, oh
Add it up, oh
Add it up, oh
Add it up, oh
Add it up, oh
Add it up, oh
Add it up
