Meaning of "But that don't mean I can't get you there." in lyrics
Hello,
I found this catchy song, Cee Lo Green's "F U" (or "Forget You" or " You")
In one verse, he sings:
A) I don't owe a Ferrari, but my Volvo (for example) works just as well (get you there literally);
B) maybe in the future we will be able to afford Ferrari together (get you to the point where we buy a Ferrari);
C) both A and B. :-)
Thank you very much, I've been trying to figure this out for too long :-)
Have a nice day!

What is that supposed to mean?
Yeah I'm sorry, I can't afford a Ferrari,
But that don't mean I can't get you there.
I guess he's an Xbox and I'm more Atari,
But the way you play your game ain't fair.

Anything artistic is open to subjective interpretation. Especially song lyrics. I'd say B is the closest to what he means, but it should really be: B) maybe in the future I will be able to afford a Ferrari and buy you one ....
