1st ver:
I made my Friday night rounds at the places I usually go
Been working hard all week long, had some wild oats to sow
I met up with a sweet young thing, asked her to let’s have some fun
She winked and said slip me a fifty, I’ll show you how it’s done.
(I said)
Chorus
Ain’t in it for the money honey, got bills that’s way overdue
My old truck needs new tires, the bank loan didn’t come through
I see you’re thinkin dollar signs, that’s not what I was thinking of
Ain’t in it for the money honey, I’m only in it for the love
2nd ver:
I found a soul-mate online, got married and settled down
I was making a little money that she was spending all over town
Then one day when I came home she met me at the door
Said I needed another part-time job so she could spend a little more.
(I told her)
(Bridge)
I’m not a banker or a broker
leaves are the only thing green that grows on trees
Since you really like to spend so much
try earning some ‘stead of giving the 3rd degree
[Spoken] or am I speaking chinese ??
2nd Chorus:
You’re only in it for the money honey, my credit card’s maxed and overdue
I just wanna pay the bills, not buy some fashion high-heel shoes
I still see you’re thinkin dollar signs and baby that’s just not right
You’re only in it for the money honey, so I’m outta here tonight
Tag:
You’re only in it for the money honey, so I’m outta here tonight
That’s right, I’m outta here tonight
