Lyrics

[Verse 1]

If you want that girl, listen, son

Don't you sit around and cry

Because love in this world

Ain't nothing you can buy

[Verse 2]

She's got ruby lips and emerald eyes

She's got diamonds on her mind

If you want that girl, what you need is

M-O-N-E-Y

That's a mmm-O-N-E-Y, baby

Mmm-O-N-E-Y

And that's a mmm-O-N-E-Y, baby

Mmm-O-N-E-Y

[Verse 3]

I was out last night with my girlfriend

Things were goin' very fine

And I asked her, "Would you like a kiss?"

She said, "Thank you, no, I'll have some M-O-N-E-Y"

And that's a mmm-O-N-E-Y, baby

Mmm-O-N-E-Y

And that's a mmm-O-N-E-Y, baby

Mmm-O-N-E-Y

[Verse 4]

No finance, no romance

Was how she told me good-bye

First she took my lovin', then she took all my

M-O-N-E-Y

And that's a mmm-O-N-E-Y, baby

Mmm-O-N-E-Y

And that's a mmm-O-N-E-Y, baby

M-O-N-E-Y

[Verse 5]

She's got ruby lips and emerald eyes

She's got diamonds on her mind

If you want that girl, what you need is

M-O-N-E-Y

And that's a mmm-O-N-E-Y, baby

M-O-N-E-Y

And that's a mmm-O-N-E-Y, baby

M-O-N-E-Y

And that's a mmm-O-N-E-Y, baby

M-O-N-E-Y

[Verse 6]

And that's a mmm-O-N-E-Y, baby

M-O-N-E-Y

And that's a mmm-O-N-E-Y, baby

M-O-N-E-Y

And that's a mmm-O-N-E-Y, baby

M-O-N-E-Y
