[Verse 1]
Money doesn't make you happy
It can’t save you from your mental health
You really gotta wanna catch that stuff out early
You gotta face up to it for yourself
I heard the money doesn't solve your problems
But a little but of cash might help
I know that you are gonna shake that lousy feeling
Running from your problems to your parents' house

[Chorus]
Please tell me why you do it, honey?
Why you gotta do it?
I know that it breaks your heart

[Verse 2]
Yeah, money doesn’t make you look handsome
But it sure can get you a lay
You know I wrote myself a brand new mantra
Forget 'bout the money, love is all you need
Aw, man, money doesn't make you happy
You gotta work it out for yourself
I know you're gonna shake that lousy feeling
Ah, you really gotta wanna work it out

[Chorus]
Please tell me why you do it, honey?
Why you gotta do it?
I know that it breaks your heart
