Money Can't Buy You Love
Tamar Braxton Lyrics

Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah-yeah oh, ooh

Don't want to sound like I'm a golddigger
But I like the finer things in life, alright
Can't be spending my time with nobody who ain't doing nothing
So now y'all want to own my own leather
So I gotta keep my focus tight, alright
But it might sound kind of funny but

Money can't buy you love
But it sho-nuff pay's the bills around here, oh yeah
But you do without it you'll need money too
Money can't buy you love
But it sho-nuff pay's the bills up in here, oh yeah

Now baby let me make it real simple
I can do bad all by myself ooh babe
I ain't never been one
Who needs somebody else to buy me something
But could you try to be a gift giver
Cause I don't want nobody else, oh no, said oh no baby
It might sound kinda funny but

Money can't buy you love
But it sho-nuff pay's the bills around here, oh yeah
But you do without it you'll need money too
Money can't buy you love
But it sho-nuff pay's the bills up in here, oh yeah

Baby, I know you love
But you know that I'm a shopper
See why can't you show you love me
(Show me dem dollers, dollers, dollers)
Just like I show you I love you
So if you want to holla)
Don't be afraid to give...

I said I'm all about the money baby, the money baby
I'm all about the rent, oh yea-yeah
I need my hair done, my nails done
A new Prada bag, a brand new Jag
See that don't make me a golddigger
I just like the finer things you can bring
It might sound funny but...

Money can't buy you love
But it sho-nuff pay's the bills around here, oh yeah
But you do without it you'll need money too
Money can't buy you love
But it sho-nuff pay's the bills up in here, oh yeah

Money can't buy you love
But it sho-nuff pay's the bills around here, oh yeah
But you do without it you'll need money too
Money can't buy you love
But it sho-nuff pay's the bills up in here, oh yeah

Money can't buy you love
But it sho-nuff pay's the bills around here, oh yeah
But you do without it you'll need money too
So don't be afraid to give, oh

Tamar Braxton (pronounced Tay-mahr) (born March 17, 1977) is an American R&B singer. She is the youngest sister of Grammy Award-winning R&B singer Toni Braxton and was a singer of the now-defunct R&B group, The Braxtons.

Evelyn, herself an opera singer, recognized her children's talents when one day, Tamar Read Full BioTamar Braxton (pronounced Tay-mahr) (born March 17, 1977) is an American R&B singer. She is the youngest sister of Grammy Award-winning R&B singer Toni Braxton and was a singer of the now-defunct R&B group, The Braxtons.

Braxton was born in Severn, Maryland to Michael and Evelyn Braxton. The youngest of the Braxton's six children, Tamar started singing as a toddler. Evelyn, herself an opera singer, recognized her children's talents when one day, Tamar, sang "Can you please get me some toilet paper!" Evelyn quickly started training her girls, and eventually enrolled them in singing lessons. The Braxton children also would eventually enter in their church choir, where Michael Braxton was pastor.

Brought up in a strict Christian household, secular music was initially frowned upon, causing the children to sneak and sing along to Soul Train when the parents were out of the house. They would soon start harmonizing, forming a girl group. Tamar says of this period "I was always the highest note." Her voice was in sharp contrast to her older sister's husky contralto. One day, A Toni was pumping gas at a local gas station while singing along, when she caught the attention of a producer. He heard her sing and was amazed, and decided to pull the five sisters into a group; he envisioned a female version of the Jackson 5. They released a single on Atlantic Records in 1990 as "The Braxtons," and caught the attention of producers Antonio "L.A" Reid and Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds. The two had just started a then fledgling record label, LaFace, with Arista Records. The guys passed on the group, as they had just signed a new trio named TLC, but they were looking for a solo female artist and loved Toni's voice. So the girls talked it over, and Toni decided to embark on her now famous solo career.

The sisters worked as backup singers for Toni (you can see them in Toni's video Seven Whole Days). Eventually, the girls (minus Toni) would release an album for Atlantic, to which the group was still signed, in 1996 entitled So Many Ways.

In 1999, Tamar first explored her gospel side on T.D Jakes Love Songs album. Later, Tamar would meet up with Christopher "Tricky" Stewart, a rapper/producer (also famous for bringing Blu Cantrell to national attention) based in Atlanta, Georgia. She recorded her solo debut album, Ridiculous, so named because of the many different musical styles on the album. The album would be retooled and released by Dreamworks as Tamar on January 18, 2000. It was lead in by the first single for the album, "Get None" with guest appearances by Jermaine Dupri and rapper Amil and featured the second single, If You Don't Wanna Love Me. The singles failed to gain significant radio & video airplay and ultimately the album didn't sell well, and Tamar was dropped from her contract,it is also worth noting that tamar proved that she could do the whistle register on money can't buy you love on tamar's deut album.

Tamar sang for the Kingdom Come soundtrack, with Toni Braxton appearing in the movie as Juanita Slocumb. Currently she sang background for Toni's album More Than A Woman (released 2002),and 2005 album Libra and resides in Atlanta. She also negotiated a new contract with Tommy Mottola's Casablanca Records, and is working to record a new album. She also sang backup in her sister Toni's famous headlining show in Las Vegas entitled, "Toni Braxton: Revealed" but has been replaced by singer Sparkle. She is currently working on a new album and her own record company with fiance, producer Vincent Herbert.
