|
You know, the landlord rang my front door bell. |
|
I let it ring for a long, long spell. |
|
I went to the window, |
|
I peeped through the blind, |
|
And asked him to tell me what was on his mind. |
|
He said, |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
\"Money, honey, a-huh-huh |
|
Money, honey. |
|
Money, honey, if you wanna get along with me.\" |
|
Well, I screamed and I hollered, |
|
I was so hard-pressed. |
|
I called the woman that I loved the best. |
|
I finally got my baby 'bout half past three, |
|
She said I'd like to know whatcha want with me. |
|
I said, |
|
[Chorus] |
|
Well, I said \"Tell me baby, what's wrong with you? |
|
From this day on our romance is through?\" |
|
I said \"Tell me baby, face to face |
|
How could another man take my place?\" |
|
She said |
|
[Chorus] |
|
Well, I've learned my lesson and now I know |
|
The sun may shine and the winds may blow. |
|
The women may come and the women may go, |
|
But before I say \"I love you so\" |
|
I want |
|
[Chorus] |
