The best things in life are free
But you can keep them for the birds and bees
Now give me money
That's what I want
That's what I want, yeah

You're lovin' gives me a thrill
But you're lovin' don't pay my bills
Now give me money

That's what I want, yeah
That's what I want

Money don't get everything it's true
What it don't get, I can't use
