It’s Money That I Love
[Verse 1]
I don't love the mountains
I don't love the sea
I don't love Jesus
He never done a thing for me
I ain't pretty like my sister
Smart like my dad
Or good like my mama
[Chorus]
It's money that I love
It's money that I love
[Verse 2]
They say that money
Can't buy love in this world
But it'll get you a half-pound of cocaine
And a sixteen-year-old girl
And a great big long limousine
On a hot September night
Now that may not be love
But it is all right
[Chorus]
One, two
It's money that I love
Wanna kiss you
Three, four
It's money that I love
[Verse 3]
Used to worry 'bout the poor
But I don't worry anymore
Used to worry 'bout the black man
Now I don't worry 'bout the black man
Used to worry about the starving children of India
You know what I say now about the starving children of India?
I say, "Oh, mama"
[Chorus]
It's money that I love
It's money that I love
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
It's money that I love
It's money that I love
It's money that I love
It's money that I love
It's money that I love
It's money that I love
It's money that I love
