[Verse]
Well, my baby's just like money
True while you hold her tight
But if you let her go, she'll blow like dough
Honky-tonk day and night

[Verse]
'Cause a friend of mine, he came and wised me up
This is what he said
"Money goes from hand to hand
And your baby goes to man to man"

[Bridge]
Listen now, baby, and I don't mean maybe
Honey, I'm telling you you're making me blue
That's why I know it's true

[Verse]
'Cause I found out, honey, you're just like money
The root of all evil
Money goes from hand to hand
And you know you go from man to man

[Verse]
Yeah, my baby's just like money
She goes everywhere
And I'm telling you her love's untrue
And I know that she don't care
[Verse]
Just as long as she's got a ticket to ride
That gal's satisfied
Money goes from hand to hand
And my baby goes to man to man

[Bridge]
Listen here, baby, and I don't mean maybe
You got to change your ways starting today
Or your Daddy's not got to stay

[Verse]
'Cause I found out, honey, you're just like money
The root of all evil
Money goes from hand to hand
And you know you go from man to man
