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'

I could climb the Himalayan mountains Or the pyramids in West Peru I could travel back in time and hear Al Green sing It wouldn't mean a thing without you I could sail across the Indian Ocean And bathe in the reflection of the moon I could find the buried treasure of ancient kings But it wouldn't mean a thing without you No, wouldn't mean a thing without you You bring out the best in me Help me see the world differently Be a better man than I'd ever be on my own I'll give you the rest of me You're the reason I rest easily It's the love and loyalty you've shown I could work hard, make a fortune Bet it all on red only to lose If money comes my way I won't be complaining It wouldn't mean a thing without you No, it wouldn't mean a thing without you You bring out the best in me Help me see the world differently Be a better man than I'd ever be on my own I'll give you the rest of me You're the reason I rest easily It's the love and loyalty you've shown I could climb the Himalayan mountains Or the pyramids in West Peru I could travel back in time and hear Al Green sing It wouldn't mean a thing with out you No, it wouldn't mean a thing without you

It don't mean a thing If it ain't got that swing (Doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah Doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah) It don't mean a thing All you got to do is sing (Doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah Doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah) It makes no diff'rence If it's sweet or hot Just give that rhythm Ev'rything you got Oh, it don't mean a thing If it ain't got that swing (Doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah Doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah)

She had the money Waiting to grow Who wasn't ready? There's four steps to show So why you so shy? (Shy) You've got the beggars chanting in your mind This may sound crazy but you make me feel like a lady This may sound crazy I know you want me back I know you want me back I know you want me back Now your puppet is free from direction, You walk these streets at night While the jazz man catches you in his sights This may sound crazy but you make me feel like a lady This may sound crazy I know you want me back I know you want me back You were looking for love For your heart to be glazed Over by the strings, that he pulls your way He brings you into fashion So fly his way Honey is your blood, so sweet your taste The jazz man has the swag that keeps me coming all day All day This may sound crazy but you make me feel like a lady This may sound crazy I know you want me back I know you want me back

Honey can't make you sweet When you're leaving me crumbs in stages And you've got it all masked in tape Got no weight and no way in After dark The devils in the details I got good at lying to myself Afterthought You were a crutch Basically done but not relevant After dark The devils in the details I got good at lying to myself Afterthought Don't make a fuss I gave it almost everything Is that what sticks to gold? A never ending law so you know And pleasing you is cold Well you're in a league where nobody's close And your teas cold Fleshed with angry overtones Hit the airbags There's a little crack in the wall Well we us to be open After dark The devils in the details I got good at lying to myself Afterthought You were a crutch Basically done but not relevant After dark The devils in the details I got good at lying to myself Afterthought Don't make a fuss I gave it almost everything So what's your hunch now with your finer taste? Ride the little reigns easy Coz there's something that building up In a scene that you can't explain And its seem that you make demands With the monkey on your back now There's your Bourgeois family And your dreams don't make a statement Now the little things are working out I'll sit as a sinner now After dark The devils in the details I got good at lying to myself Afterthought You were a crutch Basically done but not relevant After dark The devils in the details I got good at lying to myself Afterthought Don't make a fuss I gave it almost everything
