Just For The Money Songtext
von Ted Gärdestad

Are we gonna do the counting?
Who counts, Mark?
Now I wasn′t talkin"bout the chorus, the chorus are fine
I was just saying, we're stopping, but you′re playing rhythm there (yeah)
Da-do, da-do, ha-dim
Well I was playing you know
In twenty six, you see I played, you know
Yeah I know, I could dig it
One, two, three


It's true what they say, "You gotta run free
To learn the very secrets of life"
And life ain't a joke
Because when you′re broke
You can′t pay your debts with a smile
I've seen a whole lot of rambling at backstreet motels
Where all the honky tonk cats go chasing for rats
I′m through with my job and the factory smell
I have the right to expect, a little respect
I ain't got a dime to be saved in a bank
That′s why I gotta be frank

Loving you
Is loving you just for the money?
Ooh loving you, is the kind of living, I wanna do
Play tennis together, on top of a hill
We're happy forever as long as you will
Love just for the money

How deep is your love and your credit account?
I gotta know all the facts, to get in the act
Invite all my friends to a church out of town
I have to send them some bucks, to rent them a Tux
You know they gotta look nice, when they stand in the aisle
And sing along, with a great-great big smile

Loving you
Is loving you just for the money?
Ooh loving you, is the kind of living, I wanna do
When I face the altar and give you my ring
The reverends daughter and choir will sing
Love just for the money


Lovin you
Is loving you just for the money?
Ooh loving you, is the kind of living, I wanna do
We′ll go for a honeymoon cruise to La France
Our lives will be sunny, if you take a chance

Love just for the money
Love for just the money
Love for just the money

Hey that's a good D-flat on that bail there
