"Price Tag" lyrics

"Price Tag"
(feat. B.o.B)

[Jessie J:]
Okay, Coconut Man, Moonhead and Pea
You ready?

Seems like everybody's got a price
I wonder how they sleep at night
When the sale comes first and the truth comes second
Just stop for a minute and smile
Why is everybody so serious?
Acting so damn mysterious?
Got your shades on your eyes
And your heels so high that you can't even have a good time

Everybody look to their left
Everybody look to their right
Can you feel that? Yeah
We're paying with love tonight

It's not about the money, money, money
We don't need your money, money, money
We just wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag
Ain't about the, uh, cha-ching, cha-ching
Ain't about the, yeah, ba-bling, ba-bling
Wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag

Okay
We need to take it back in time
When music made us all unite
And it wasn't low blows and video hoes
Am I the only one getting tired?
Why is everybody so obsessed?
Money can't buy us happiness
Can we all slow down and enjoy right now?
Guarantee we'll be feeling alright

Everybody look to their left (To their left)
Everybody look to their right (To their right)
Can you feel that? Yeah
We're paying with love tonight

It's not about the money, money, money
We don't need your money, money, money
We just wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag
Ain't about the, uh, cha-ching, cha-ching
Ain't about the, yeah, ba-bling, ba-bling
Wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag

[B.o.B:]
Yeah, yeah, well, keep the price tag and take the cash back
Just give me six strings (Six strings) and a half-stack (Half-stack)
And you can, can keep the cars, leave me the garage
And all I, yes, all I need are keys and guitars
And guess what? In thirty seconds, I'm leaving to Mars
Yeah, we leaping across these undefeatable odds
It's like this, man, you can't put a price on a life
We do this for the love, so we fight and sacrifice every night
So we ain't gon' stumble and fall, never
Waiting to see this in the sign of defeat, uh-uh
So we gon' keep everyone moving their feet
So bring back the beat and then everyone sing
It's not about the money

[Jessie J (B.o.B):]
It's not about the money, money, money
We don't need your money, money, money
We just wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag
Ain't about the, uh, cha-ching, cha-ching
Ain't about the, yeah, ba-bling, ba-bling
Wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag (Hey! Hey!)
It's not about the money, money, money (We don't need it)
We don't need your money, money, money (No, I don't, we don't need it)
We just wanna make the world dance (Dance, dance your ass off)
Forget about the price tag (Ah, ah)
Ain't about the, yea-yeah!, cha-ching, cha-ching
Ain't about the, woo!, ba-bling, ba-bling (It ain't about)
Wanna make the world dance (Yeah, yeah)
Forget about the price tag

[Jessie J:]
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
Yeah, yeah, ahh, ooh-ooh, ahh
Forget about the price tag, heh

The second single from Jessie J's debut album.
The background of this track was explained by Jessie J when she told The Sun, "I co-wrote 'Price Tag' with Claude Kelly (aka moon head) and Dr Luke (aka Coconut Man) (and I'm Pea) about 4 months after we wrote 'Party In The U.S.A.' for Miley Cyrus. It was inspired by my life at the time, feeling like money ruled everything and everyone was so serious in their shades."
Jessie J told MTV News about her desire to record the song in the same room with B.o.B, "I didn't want it to be like, 'Do that, drop a bar and send it to me.' I wanted it to be an experience and a journey. So he wrote his bar and he flew to the U.K. to do the video. So, no green screen. We're there together. [...] I've proper been there, hugged him and smelled him."
This song was sung by Jessie J and B.o.B during her American television debut on an episode of Saturday Night Live on the 12th of March 2011.
