That's Where My Money Goes
Loverboy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And what she buys, must be authentic
I paid up, to keep her down
I go crazy when she's not around, yeah, yeah
She's got me in the palm of her hand
But please understand
No one ever made me feel
She does, oh ya
You see that little girl of mine
That's where my money goes
That's where my money goes
And I work hard (he works hard) I work overtime
It's no good, cause I can't save a dime
When I have it, I got to spend it
On my baby
'Cause I'm so dependent ya on love
My friends tell me I'm out of my mind
But it's not a crime
I'll do anything to keep that girl all mine
Oh ya, all mine
She's satisfied and it shows
That's where my money goes
That's where my money goes
So take it all baby
Now listen
My friends tell me I'm out of my mind
But it's not a crime
I'll do anything to keep that girl all mine
Oh ya, I know
She's satisfied and it shows
She's satisfied and it shows
That's where my money goes (That's where his money goes)
That's where my money goes
(That's where his money goes)
That's where my money goes (That's where his money goes)
That's where my money goes (That's where his money goes)
I'll tell ya'
She's satisfied and it shows
That's where my money goes
(That's where his money goes)
That's where my money goes
(That's where his money goes)
That's where my money goes (That's where his money goes)
That's where my money goes
That's where his money goes
Bye, bye, money, hello happiness
