If I work hard every day
For my money
If I work my finger down to the bone
That ain´t funny
Now if I see
Something I can´t buy
I put a dollar down
Then I try try try
To get my money
I need my money
A woman who ain´t got a dime
I can´t use her no
If she ain´t got no cash money
I´ve got to refuse her
I need a woman
With a whole lotta will
So she help me, baby
Help me pay my bill
I need my money
I´ve got to have money

I need lovin´ to give me a livin´
So don´t ask me I don´t need forgivin´
I will stand up to count the cost
But I know I won´t stand the loss

I need a woman
With a whole lotta will
She can help me pay my bill
I need my money
I want my money
Before I say my prayers
I count my money
When I wake up
It has to be there
My money
You see, love--it don´t mean a thing
When she loves you
She can´t bring, can´t bring you no money
I´ve got to have my money

Lookin´ for lovin´
I need a livin´
