  • 1:49 DAYYYYYUUMMMMM! XD

  • thats interesting

  • Have sex with lots of woman expands your life by 9 years. So id rather do that.

  • Yup its a song by the Beatles

  • @joshuaqgaeta that is true money cant buy me love i think thats a song

  • @OsaraTheRiddlemaster infatuation and companionship = love

  • @schnizle101 Agreed. People mistake infatuation and companionship with love. But I wonder, if love did exist, what would it truly be worth?

  • No such thing as love. Sorry people, but it's the truth. Just hormones. It's your natural desire to make babies. We just associate this with a made up feeling called 'love'.

  • I don't care too much for money.

    Money can't buy me love.

  • Money may not buy you love; But without it, bitches sure as hell won't give you any loving...
