If I work hard every day

For my money

If I work my finger down to the bone

That ain't funny

Now if I see

Something I can't buy

I put a dollar down

Then I try try try

To get my money

I need my money

A woman who ain't got a dime

I can't use her no

If she ain't got no cash money

I've got to refuse her

I need a woman

With a whole lotta will

So she help me, baby

Help me pay my bill

I need my money

I've got to have money



I need lovin' to give me a livin'

So don't ask me I don't need forgivin'

I will stand up to count the cost

But I know I won't stand the loss



I need a woman

With a whole lotta will

She can help me pay my bill

I need my money

I want my money

Before I say my prayers

I count my money

When I wake up

It has to be there

My money

You see, love--it don't mean a thing

When she loves you

She can't bring, can't bring you no money

I've got to have my money



Lookin' for lovin'

I need a livin'
