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'
