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'
