MONEY MAKES YOU SAY THAT YOU LOVE ME
Just starting out in the world.
I didn’t have much,
Couldn’t get your attention.
We were both doing the same thing.
It’s called W-A-L-K-I-N-G.
I got promoted, brought a brand new BMW.
I made up my face, stepping high in heels,
I let my hair down,
I’m even wearing designer nails,
I feel good about myself that
I don’t need anyone to tell me
that I look good, what a difference
make-up can do for you.
You took one look at my car,
it had your head turning, eyes popping,
teeth showing,
it has you begging to talk to me.
You are ready to wash it, wax it, and vacuum it
keep it looking showroom ready,
Ooh, you would love to take care of it.
Before, you were blind, couldn’t see me,
now your arms are reaching out,
dying to hold me.
You are ready to drive me to the movies,
to the park,
you don’t mind being seen with me at all.
There is nothing in this world at the moment
that you wouldn’t do for me.
Now you tell me that you would love to
put a smile on my face.
MONEY MAKES YOU SAY THAT YOU LOVE ME - 2
It’s a shame that all this is happening
over a car.
It has you hollering, ooo-wee.
Just how good I look to you.
It has you telling me that
you have always loved me.
Before I had money I was ordinary,
now that I have a car
YOU WANT ME TO BE
THE QUEEN OF YOUR HEART.
When I didn’t have much money
I couldn’t get your attention
while i was waiting for the bus to come.
Baby, your head is still swollen
You can’t seem to see that your
playing days has faded with your age.
Wow, how time has changed us all,
Now you want to settle down.
Don’t worry about me
I am doing just fine.
You kept W-A-L-K-I-N-G,
now I’m T-A-L-K-I-N-G.
I don’t need you.
You see, I am a hard working-class woman
who knows the signs,
I know the difference between true love
and the love for MONEY.
