Why does Google Play require an internet connection and burn up much data?

[AC Question]

why does google play require an internet connection and burn up much data?

I paid money to download these songs and I cant listen to them unless I have wifi or my data on, that seems a little off to me

Welcome to the forums. You can download the songs you want. After you listen to them, they should be cached (depending on your settings) so they will need minimal data use after the first play.
