Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Bust it open for a gift
I put diamonds on your wrist
I can't buy your lovin'
It's never enough
I took that girl on a trip
'Cause we was arguin'
Ever since we stopped touchin'
We're not in touch
[Verse 2]
I know money can't buy, buy, buy your love
I guess I didn't try, try hard enough
But we could work this like a 9 to 5
Mama told me stop playin', playin' all the games
Steady throwin' dollars, expectin' change
But every war ends the same
[Verse 3]
Can we just
Make love
Not war?
Can we just
Make love
Not war?
[Verse 4]
I solve my problems with a check
Now I'm payin' for it
You wanted nothin', uh
Nothin' but love
I can't lie, I'm a mess
I'm too jealous, yes
It's so hard to trust you
When I don't trust myself
[Verse 5]
I know money can't buy, buy, buy your love
I guess I didn't try, try hard enough
But we could work this like a 9 to 5
Mama told me stop playin', playin' all the games
Steady throwin' dollars, expectin' change
But every war ends the same
[Verse 6]
Can we just
Make love
Not war?
Can we just
Make love
Not war?
[Verse 7]
And my people say
Let's just try some lovin', babe
'Cause, shawty, I know
[Verse 8]
I know money can't buy, buy, buy your love
I guess I didn't try, try hard enough
Girl, we could work it like a 9 to 5, 5, 5, woah-oh, baby
Mama told me stop playin', playin' all the games
Steady throwin' dollars, expectin' change
But every war ends the same
[Verse 9]
Can we just
Make love
Not war?
Oh, baby
Can we just
Make love
Not war?
Not war, babe
