Some boys kiss me, some boys hug me,
I think they're o.k.!
If they don't give me proper credit
I just walk away.
They can beg and they can plead,
But they can't see the light, that's right!
'Cause the boy with the cold hard cash
Is always Mister Right.
'Cause we're living in a material world,
And I am a material girl.
You know that we are living in a material world,
And I am a material girl.
Some boys romance, some boys slow dance,
That's all right with me!
If they can't raise my interest then I
Have to let them be.
Some boys try and some boys lie, but
I don't let them play... (no way!)
Only boys that save their pennies
Make my rainy day.
'Cause we're living in a material world,
And I am a material girl.
You know that we are living in a material world,
And I am a material girl.
Boys may come and boys may go,
And that's all right, you see?
Experience has made me rich
And now they're after me.
'Cause everybody's living in a material world,
And I am a material girl.
You know that we are living in a material world,
And I am a material girl.
Living in a material world...
And I am a material girl.
You know that we are living in a material world,
And I am a material girl.
