Lyrics
I get loose, let's slam, we know you like material things
But baby, money can't buy you love
Material things, material things
Can't buy my love
Now I'm not complaining, but I've had some hard times
Mainly cause I'm from the streets
So I met this sexy little wealthy debutante
She's from high society
I knew I had to play right, when she comes for me at night
In a big old yellow limousine
She threw me Gucci and some sexy stuff like this
The finest clothes I'd ever seen
Now I know you might be into Cadillacs
Depends on where your head's at
But that ain't no way to get real love, and with material things
Uh-huh, you can't buy my little baby, no, everybody say
Uh material things, baby, can't buy my love
Come on, sing
Uh material things, baby
Can't find my love
Did you see the lady is a special thing of mine
And she is my lover too
She takes me skiing, flying, surfing in the town
Ain't that thing I want to do?
I know you think that it's a thrill, cause she lives up on the hill
But that don't mean that much to me
She'd be my baby even if she left the class
My heart is not for sale you see
Now I know you might be into Cadillacs
Depends on where your head's at
But that ain't no way to get real love, and with material things
Oh no, you can't buy my little baby, no, everybody say
Uh huh, material things, baby, can't buy my love
Uh huh, material things, baby, can't buy my love
Uh huh, material things, baby, can't buy my love
Uh huh, material things, baby, can't buy my love
Now, I understand that you were raised real well
But really, darling, hearts are not for sale
So how about a little heart advice?
Uh-huh
When I first met you, my honey
I liked you, but it really not your word
I wasn't trying to pull a hoop to do
I was doing real fine before I met you
You came along trying to buy me things
Buy me full of folks and diamond rings
You got a car, a yacht, and stuff like that
So tell me, pretty girl, where your heart is at?
Uh huh, material things, baby, can't buy my love
Uh huh, material things, baby, can't buy my love
Uh huh, material things, baby, can't buy my love
Uh huh, material things, baby, can't buy my love
Uh huh, material things, baby, can't buy my love
Uh huh, material things, baby, can't buy my love
Uh huh, material things, baby, can't buy my love
Uh huh, material things, baby, can't buy my love
Now it's time that we get our values straight
Plus, with material things, I just can't even
It's all about being happy, baby
Uh-huh, everybody say
Uh huh, material things, baby, can't buy my love
Uh huh, material things, baby, can't buy my love
Uh huh, material things, baby, can't buy my love
Uh huh, material things, baby, can't buy my love
