It’s Money That I Love
Don't love the mountains
Don't love the sea
Don't love Jesus
He ain't never done a thing for me
I ain't pretty like my sister
Or smart like my dad
Or good like my mama
It's money that I love
It's money that I love
They say that money
Can't buy love in this world
But it'll get you a half-pound of cocaine
And a sixteen year-old girl
Long black limousine
On a hot September night
Now that may not be love
But it's alright
One, two...
It's money that I love
Wanna kiss ya
Three, four...
It's money that I love
I used to worry about the poor
Now I don't worry anymore
I used to worry about the black man
Now I don't worry about no black man
I used to worry about the starving children of India
You know what I say about the starving children of India?
I say "Oh mama"
It's money that I love
It's money that I love
It's money that I love
