For the Love of Money Songtext
von The O’Jays

Money, money, money, money, money
Money, money, money, money, money
Money, money, money, money, money
Money, money, money, money, money
Money, money, money, money, money
Money, money, money, money, money

Some people got to have it
Some people really need it
Listen to me y′all
Do things, do things, do things, bad things with it
You want to do things, do things, do things, good things with it
Talk about cash money, money
Talk about cash money, dollar bills y'all, come on now
Yeah, yeah

For the love of money
People will steal from their mother
For the love of money
People will rob their own brother


For the love of money
People can′t even walk the street
Because they never know who in the world they're gonna beat
For that lean, mean, mean green
Almighty dollar, money

For the love of money
People will lie, Lord, they will cheat
For the love of money
People don't care who they hurt or beat
For the love of money
A woman will sell her precious body
For a small piece of paper it carries a lot of weight
Call that mean, mean, mean, mean, mean green
Almighty dollar

I know that money is the root of all evil
Do funny things to some people
Give me a nickel, brother can you spare a dime?
Money can drive some people out of their minds

For the love of money
Don′t sell your soul for money, no, no
For the love of money
Lay down, lay down, a woman will


Money is the root of all evil
Do funny things to some people
Give me a nickel, brother can you spare a dime?
Money can drive some people out of their minds

(For the love of money) got to have it, I really need it
(For the love of money) give it up, give it up, give it up, yeah
(For the love of money) got to have it, some people really need it
(For the love of money) give me, give me, give me, cash money

(For the love of money) I need, I need
(For the love of money) give me, give me, give me
(For the love of money)
(For the love of money) how many things have I heard you say?

(For the love of money) don′t let it, don't let it, don′t let money rule you
(For the love of money) how many things have I heard you say
(For the love of money) don't let it, don′t let it, don't let money fool you
(For the love of money) yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(For the love of money) got to have it, I really need it

Save your soul, save your soul, don′t sell it
For that mean, mean, mean, mean green

People know that money, don't let money change you
Almighty dollar
