Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Money is the Bentley parked on Wall Street

Money is the new friends you make each week

Money is the inside guy at the bank

Money is the yacht right before it sank

[Verse 2]

Bet you never thought you'd want so much

Bet you never thought it'd be so tough

So you sell your soul for a piece of the pie

Now ya can't sleep so you don't even try

[Verse 3]

I wouldn't wanna be like you

I wouldn't wanna be like you, no way

I wouldn't wanna be like you

You tell a lie, you tell a lie, you tell a lie

But that don't make it true

[Verse 4]

Money is the monkey givin' you a back ache

Money is the grease in the palm of a handshake

Money covers up all the evidence

Not takin' all the money would have made the best sense

[Verse 5]

Bet you never thought you'd be that much

Bet you never thought I'd be so rough

You thought you could beat them at their game

But they wrote the rules, now you take the blame

[Verse 6]

I wouldn't wanna be like you

I wouldn't wanna be like you, no way

I wouldn't wanna be like you

You tell a lie, you tell a lie, you tell a lie

But that don't make it true

[Verse 7]

All the players on the sidelines

Feigning shock and innocence

Hear no, see no, speak no evil

Take the fall for all of the place

[Verse 8]

Money is the orange jumpsuit you're wearin'

Money is the gray roots in your blond hair and

Money is the ex-wife and the ex-girlfriends

Money you hid is the money they're spendin'

Here's to the brand new diamond bracelet

Here's to the days before you went down

'Cause what goes around comes around and around

[Verse 9]

I wouldn't wanna be like you

I wouldn't wanna be like you, no way

Oh, I wouldn't wanna be like you

You tell a lie, you tell a lie, you tell a lie

But that don't make it true

[Verse 10]

I wouldn't wanna be like you, no way

Oh, I wouldn't wanna be like you

You tell a lie, you tell a lie, you tell a lie

But that don't make it true

No, that don't make it true

[Verse 11]

Ooh, that don't make it true

Oh, that don't make it true
