Verse 1:

I bought a mug for just a dime,

Now I won’t sell it—not for prime.

It’s just a cup, but in my mind,

It’s worth a fortune, one of a kind.

Verse 2:

You want to trade? I’ll have to pass,

Though yours is newer, made of glass.

It’s not about the shape or shine,

It’s mine, and that makes it divine.

Chorus:

I don’t wanna let it go,

Even if it’s just for show.

It’s not the price, it’s how I feel.

What’s mine is more than just a deal.

Bridge:

It’s not about the worth or gold,

It’s how the story’s been retold.

Once it’s mine, it’s got a glow.

That’s the Endowment Effect, you know!

Verse 3:

Science says it’s in our brain,

We feel a loss, we feel the pain.

Ownership rewires the track,

Once it’s ours, we won’t give it back.

Verse 4 :

From cars to hats to old CDs,

We guard them like they're families.

Even if they’re worn or ratched,

We want them more—just ‘cause we’re attached.

Chorus:

I don’t wanna let it go,

Even if it’s just for show.

It’s not the price, it’s how I feel.

What’s mine is more than just a deal.
