I've got two islands in the Bahamas |
|
Got some land in the south of France |
|
I am gonna get me a house out on Malibu beach |
|
Just as soon as I get the chance |
|
Though I ain't got a driver's license |
|
I've got a Rolls and five limousines |
|
I've got every little thing that money can buy |
|
And I guess that I am a man of means |
|
Well, I've got a lot of things, baby, in this world |
|
But I can't get my hands on you |
|
Once I loaned out a whole lot of money |
|
To a man who I called my friend |
|
And he skipped town without paying me back |
|
Well, he'll never pull that trick again |
|
And though it ain't always been this easy |
|
I worked hard to get to this spot |
|
And all that it took was determination |
|
To get all the things that I've got |
|
You see, I've got a lot of things, baby, in this world |
|
But I can't get my hands on you |
|
No, no, no |
|
Hey! |
|
Well, I guess if I had to admit it |
|
In my life, I've done okay |
|
Whenever they told me that I couldn't get something |
|
I went out and found me a way |
|
But with you, it's a different story, baby |
|
You just won't give me a break |
|
How am I gonna face all of my friends |
|
My whole reputation's at stake |
|
You see, I've got a lot of things, baby, in this world |
|
But I can't get my hands on you |
|
Oh, I can't do it, baby |
|
No, no, no |
|
Can't get a hand on you |
