Lyrics Smokey Robinson & The Miracles – Money

I want everybody to know that the best things in life are free
But you can give them to the birds and the bees

Give me money, yeah, yeah, money
Money, that’s all I want

Your love gives me such a thrill
A-but your love don’t pay my bills
I need a-money, that’s all I want
That’s what I want, that’s what I want

Money don’t get everything, it’s true
But what it don’t get, I can’t use
I need a-money, and that’s all I want
That’s what I want, that’s what I want

«Baby, you know what? You better stop treatin’ me so mean.»
«Well, baby, if that’s what you want, you knows whatchu gotta do.»
«(Really? Tell her what to do.)»

Give me money, yeah, yeah, I want a-money
I want all those lean greens
Yeah, baby, that’s right, you know that’s what I need

Yeah, if you want me to love you, a-give me money
You want me to hug you, a-give me money
If you want me to squeeze you, a-give me money
If you want me to please you, a-give me money
If you want my loving, baby

Ain’t nothing can persuade me as good as gold
If you want my love, to have and hold
If you want my arms all around you tight
You want me to love you and treat you right
If you want my lovin’, baby, then you knows whatchu got to do

Yeah, a-give me money, a-yeah yeah

I want a-mon-mon-mon-money
