Discover the story of the song > Put Your Money – Adina Howard

The protagonist is reminiscing about when her partner promised to treat her well and show her love. However, instead of following through with their words, her partner has only been talking about it on the phone. The protagonist is tired of empty promises and wants her partner to prove that they are serious about their love by showing it with actions. She challenges her partner to "put their money where their mouth is" and show her the love and affection they've been talking about. The protagonist is skeptical if her partner is truly committed and wonders if they will actually follow through with their promises. In the end, she realizes that if her partner keeps "taxing" her with empty words and not letting her in, she will have to stop believing in their promises and move on.
