Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You wanna have nice things, whoa, yeah
Best friends with diamond rings, I said whoa, whoa, yeah
You wanna drive a Cadillac car
Wanna live the rich life
Baby, baby, don't look far
'Cause here I am, big-time spender
[Chorus]
It's gonna take money to keep you around, baby
It's gonna take money to keep you around, baby
Worried 'bout the future? Babe, you can end it
I got the money, I'm willin' to spend it
On a good-lookin' woman
Good-lookin' woman
Good-lookin' woman
Good-lookin' woman like you
[Verse 2]
You're a good-lookin' woman, whoa, yeah
You're a front-page woman, said whoa, whoa, yeah
You could be society's child
If you give the right answer
Baby, when you flash that smile
You drive me wild and I got to have you
[Chorus]
It's gonna take money to keep you around, baby
It's gonna take money to keep you around, baby
Worried 'bout the future? Babe, you can end it
I got the money, I'm willin' to spend it
On a good-lookin' woman
Good-lookin' woman
Good-lookin' woman
Good-lookin' woman like you
[PostChorus]
Good-lookin' woman
Good-lookin' woman
[Instrumental]
You wanna have nice things, say, "Oh yeah"
All you got to do is come to me, I said whoa, whoa, yeah
I'll give you everything you want
I'll fill your heart's desires
Baby, you just can't go higher
'Cause I'm the last of the big-time spenders
[Chorus]
It's gonna take money to keep you around, baby
It's gonna take money to keep you around, baby
Worried 'bout the future? Babe, you can end it
I got the money, I'm willin' to spend it
On a good-lookin' woman
Good-lookin' woman
Good-lookin' woman
Good-lookin' woman like you
[Outro]
Good-lookin' woman
Good-lookin' woman
