(Rudolf Schenker, Klaus Meine)

I wake up in the morning I'm thinking of you

In Dollars and Cents in high heel shoes



I start to think and the headache goes boom

I'm counting the bills that are stacked to the moon



The money I'm giving to you

I could live on forever (on the sunny side)

What can I do so my life

Turns around for the better (Got knows that I tried)



Taxman woman I keep running

Can't you see it's only money

Taxman woman I keep running

Can't you see it's so hard honey

To keep up with you



I work twice as hard what else can I do

To make up the part that's been taken by you



If it wasn't for you I would be rich

But instead I'm a poor son of a bitch



The money I'm giving to you

I could live on forever (on the sunny side)

What can I do so my life

Turns around for the better (Got knows that I tried)



Taxman woman I keep running

Can't you see it's only money

Taxman woman I keep running

Can't you see it's so hard honey

Taxman woman I keep running

Can't you see that it ain't funny

Taxman woman I keep running

Can't you see it's so hard honey

To keep up with you
