Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The best things in life are free

But you can give them to the birds and bees

[Chorus]

I need money (That's what I want)

That's what I want (That's what I want)

That's what I want (That's what I want)

That's what I want (That's what I want)

[Verse 2]

Your love give me such a thrill

But your love don't pay my bills

[Chorus]

I need money (That's what I want)

That's what I want (That's what I want)

That's what I want (That's what I want)

That's what I want (That's what I want)

[Verse 3]

Money don't get everything, it's true

But what it don't get, I can't use

[Chorus]

I need money (That's what I want)

That's what I want (That's what I want)

That's what I want (That's what I want)

That's what I want (That's what I want)

[Chorus]

Money (That's what I want, uh-uh-huh)

Lots of money (That's what I want, uh-uh-huh)

Whole lotta money (That's what I want, uh-uh-huh)

Uh-huh (That's what I want, uh-uh-huh)

Uh-huh, huh, huh, huh, huh (That's what I want, uh-uh-huh)

Oh yeah (That's what I want, uh-uh-huh)

[Chorus]

Gimme money (That's what I want, uh-uh-huh)

Oh, lots of money (That's what I want, uh-uh-huh)

All those lean greens, whoa-ah (That's what I want, uh-uh-huh)

That's right, baby, that's what I mean (That's what I want, uh-uh-huh)

Uh-huh, huh, huh, huh, huh (That's what I want, uh-uh-huh)

Whoa, yeah (That's what I want, uh-uh-huh)

[Outro]

Gimme money (That's what I want, uh-uh-huh)
