they're shuttin' off the phone
cuttin' off the gas
i can't afford to heat
the water in my bath
i'm barely gettin' by
i'm hangin' by a string
it's a money thing

i could sell my body
i could sell my sperm
i could sell my blood
with the money that i earn
i could buy my baby
a little plastic ring

it's a money thing
and i got none
it's a money thing
and i got none
it's a money thing
i gotta make some
money

i stare into the windows
of couple-filled cafes
the men all act like winners ‘cause they all can pay
how can i compete with what they're offering

it's a money thing
and i got none
it's a money thing
and i got none
it's a money thing
i gotta get some
money

i found a cheap date but she wasn't so cheap
i found a cheap date but she wasn't so cheap
i found a cheap date but she wasn't so cheap
shit

it's so disheartening
the cash is always king
happiness and love just don't mean anything
i'll never have enough
i'll never have enough

it's a money thing
and i got none
it's a money thing
and i got none
it's a money thing
i gotta make some
money

i found a cheap date but she wasn't so cheap
it's a money thing (2xs)
money
