I want a house   I want a car   move to an island   buy a bar   want 40 acres   and a mule   send my kids   to private school   but I'd better   move slow   got laid off   an hour ago      it's only money   it's only money   it's only money   it's only money   that's what I keep telling myself   it's only money      I want a port   in every storm   a fireplace   to keep me warm   big screen TV   and a dish   enough candles   to make a wish   but the man   stuck it to me   and now the bank   won't let me be      it's only money   it's only money      ATM card    is a wreck   how can I be overdrawn   I still have checks      I want a carport   I want a moat   one for my RV   one for my boat   want my name   recognized   don't want to open   the booby prize   but all that stuff   will have to wait   looks like I made   a big mistake      it's only money   it's only money   it's only money   it's only money   that's what I keep telling myself   it's only money
