Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Won't you take the time, tell me what you've been doing,
Moneys going fast, I'm the guy you're gonna ruin
But it don't mean a thing
I've got money to burn
No it don't mean a thing no, no
No it don't mean a thing
I've got money to burn
No it don't mean a thing no, no

Bending all the rules make yourself a dime for nothing
Go find another fool found a hard way of learning something yeah

No it don't mean a thing, I've got money to burn
No it don't mean a thing oh no

You do as you please I can see it in your eyes,
You know that I was right, and someday you will realize,
But it don't mean a thing, I've got money to burn,
No it don't mean a thing no, no
No it don't mean a thing, I've got money to burn,




No it don't mean a thing no, no
No it don't mean a thing
