Money lyrics

[Chorus:]

Money

Sick of talkin’ ‘bout money 

It's such a drag

Money

Tired of worryin’ ‘bout money

I can’t forget, 'cause I’m too much in debt

It can’t buy me happiness

It can’t buy me love

But when your pockets are filled with emptiness,

It’s all you’re thinking of

Checkin’ my balance, checkin’ it twice

I check again, but it’s still no dice

Talk to the teller, say, 

"Hey where’s my...dough?

I need it quick or I’m gonna be on skid row."

[Chorus]

It can’t buy me happiness

It can’t buy me love

But when your car is about to repossessed,  

It’s all you’re thinkin' of  

(It's all you're thinkin' of)

The collectors are callin’, can’t answer the phone

The mortgage is overdue, I’m losin’ my home

My credit’s pathetic, my assets on the line1

I ain’t had savings since back in '89-ine

[Chorus]

It can’t buy me happiness

It can’t buy me love

But when you're pawnin' your antique necklaces,

It’s all you’re thinkin' of  

(It's all you're thinkin' of)

I kicked the habit, fine wines and foods

That fancy lifestyle went down the tubes

I will be lucky, got a roof over my head

Could be sleepin’ at the mission with a Bible and a bunk bed

Money

(Sick about talkin' about, thinkin' about, worryin' about)

(Money, money, money, nothin' but money)

[Spoken and background singing:]

Finances, mortgages, payments, receipts

4% down, 8% up, 17% overdue

(Money, money, money, nothin' but money)

Claims, statements, bank notices, credit scores

Bank penalties, withdrawals, first of the month, last chance to refinance

Paper bills, electronic debt

(Money, money, money, nothin' but money)

Assets, networks, ?2, clean checks

Laundering schemes, internet rates, embezzlement write-offs, legal fees

Depreciation, savings, cashout, bailout, 

(Money, money, money, nothin' but money)  

? funds

Pennies, nickels, dimes, 

Quarters, pesos, yen, 

Liras, pounds, euros, marks, 

? francs, dough, 

(Money, money, money, nothin' but money)  

Bread, clams, scratch, jack

1. There's a double meaning here, she sings this as though she's saying "My ass, it's on the line."2. I can't hear every word of the background spoken part when it overlaps with the singing. If you can hear anything I've missed (noted with question marks), let me know and I'll add it
