[Verse 1]
We used to have such a good thing
But we were doomed from the start
It's a crying shame, the way things fall apart
I know you think that it's over
You're always telling me so
But I never was very good at letting go

[Chorus]
I'm gonna love you till the money comes
And it hasn't yet, so for now I'll stay
Till the money comes
Half of it's gonna be mine someday

[Verse 2]
You're always busy with something
Never a moment for me
Baby I don't mind, 'cause there's lots of good TV
You go to work every morning
I sit at home and drink gin
And I'll be right here on the day your ship comes in

[Chorus]
I'm gonna love you till the money comes
And it hasn't yet, so for now I'll stay
Till the money comes
Half of it's gonna be mine someday
[Bridge]
Were you ever in love? So was I
Now I can't help thinking of the things that I will buy

[Verse 3]
I know that you've got potential
I know you're gonna come through
And since I don't work, I don't know what else to do
I'll move my things out of the bedroom
Blow up a bed in the den
When you've made me rich, I will learn to love again

[Chorus]
I'm gonna love you till the money comes
And it hasn't yet, so for now I'll stay
Till the money comes
Half of it's gonna be mine someday
