Intro : I worked so hard for that man And he worked me to the bone Said success wont belong    He bought that old factory Cause the rich are born free and thats how you want to be        So I looked down from the rooftops one night       And I knew I could go far if you never left my sight But this will never be what I want in some fancy restaurant like now.           This will never be what I want, and all I ever wanted was you.             He was a beggar on a horse, he was another brave man old He watched our jobs get sold    He took the drinks from our hands so I took you in my arms we watched the sun go down    Then I knew I had been taken for a fool      I took you for granted I took fate as a rule But this will never be what I want in some fancy restaurant like now. This'll never be what I want and all I ever wanted was you. I need you now more than before I need you now more than before I need you to be there true and fair     If I prove myself here I'll prove it anywhere                   But this'll never be what I want in some fancy restaurant like now. This'll never be what I want and all I ever wanted was you. This'll never be what I want.  (x4)

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque les efforts et les sacrifices faits pour atteindre le succès, tout en soulignant l'inaccessibilité de ce rêve lorsque l'amour véritable est mis de côté. Le narrateur réalise qu'après avoir travaillé dur pour un homme qui ne valorise pas l'effort des autres, la richesse et le statut social ne lui apportent aucune satisfaction. En contemplant sa relation, il comprend que ce qu'il désire vraiment est la simplicité d’un amour authentique, loin des faux décors d'un restaurant huppé. Le contexte évoqué semble refléter une lutte entre l’ambition professionnelle et les relations personnelles, où le protagoniste prend conscience qu'il a souvent pris son partenaire pour acquis, tout en cherchant à prouver sa valeur dans un monde matérialiste. La nostalgie et le besoin d'authenticité transpirent dans ces réflexions, illustrant un parcours vers une prise de conscience plus profonde de ce qui compte vraiment dans la vie.
