Got a Pocket full of Money babe
But don't none of it belong to me
Got a Pocket full of Money babe
But don't none of it belong to me
worked many long hours
But still broke as can be

I've got a Pocket full of Money babe

But don't none of it belong to me
I've got a Pocket full of Money babe
But don't none of it belong to me
I've worked many long hours
And I'm still still broke as can be

My woman just told me
No matter what I do
No matter how much I bring home
It ain't enough to do
I've got a Pocket full Money baby
But not enough to take care of you
I don't know what to do now baby
Cause all the bills are over due

I've got a Pocket full of Money babe
And you know it don't belong to me
I've got a Pocket full Money babe
But it don't it don't belong to me
I've worked many many long hours
But I'm still still broke as can be

Got a Pocket full of Money babe
But you know
It don't belong to me
Got a Pocket full of Money babe
But you know
It don't belong to me
Work many long hours
and I'm still broke as can be

Got a Pocket full of Money
But not enough to take care of you
Got a Pocket full of Money
But not enough to take care of you
Got so many bills babe
I just don't know

Just don't know
What to do
