Ted grdestad lyrics just for the money lyrics

Its true what they say

You gotta run free

To learn the very secrets of life

And life aint a joke

Because when youre broke

You cant pay your debts with a smile





Ive seen a whole lot of ramblin at backstreet motels

Where all the honky tonk cats

Go chasin for rats

Im through with my job and the factory smell

Ii have the right to expect

A little respect

I aint got a dime to be saved in a bank

Thats why I gotta be frank





Lovin you

Is lovin you just for the money

Ooh loving you

Is the kind of livin

I wanna do

Play tennis together on top off a hill

Were 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 outta town

I have to send them some bucks

To rent them a tux

You know they gotta looka nice

When they stand in the aisle

And sing along

With a great great big smile





Lovin you

Is lovin you just for the money

Ooh lovin you

Is the kind of livin 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 livin I wanna do

Well go for a honeymoon cruise to La France

Our lives will be sunny if you take a chance

Love just for the money
