They're shutting off the phone, cutting off the gas   I can't afford to heat, the water in my bath   I'm barely getting by, I'm hanging by a string      It's a money thing      I could sell my body, I could sell my sperm   I could sell my blood, with the money that I earn   I could buy my baby a little plastic ring      It's a money thing and I got none   It's a money thing and I got none   It's a money thing, I gotta make some money      I stare into the windows of couple filled cafe's   The men all act like winners because they all can pay   How can I compete with what they're offering      It's a money thing and I got none   It's a money thing and I got none   It's a money thing, I gotta get some money      I found a cheap date but she wasn't so cheap   I found a cheap date but she wasn't so cheap   I found a cheap date but she wasn't so cheap, shit      It's so disheartening, the cash is always king   Happiness and love just don't mean anything   I'll never have enough, I'll never have enough      It's a money thing and I got none   It's a money thing and I got none   It's a money thing, I gotta make some money      I found a cheap date but she wasn't so cheap   (It's a money thing)   I found a cheap date but she wasn't so cheap   (It's a money thing)   I found a cheap date but she wasn't so cheap   (Money)
