You've heard that old story ever since time began that money is root of all evil   Well let me tell you mine it's much older than time for the root of all evil is a man   They'll tell you that they love you and will until they die   But you'll find them out with someone else before a tear come alive and it's dry   So girls take my advice think it over once or twice for the root of all evil is a man   [ steel ]   Sure there's honky tonk girls but before you condemn   And look at her with storm in your eyes   Hive her just a friendly smile hear her troubles for a while   For the cause of her trouble was a man   They'll tell you that they love you...
