(Written by B. Gordy/J. Bradford.)

The best things in life are free
So give them to the birds and the bees

I need money (that's what I want)
That's what I want
That's what I want
That's what I want

Your lovin gives me such a thrill
But your lovin can't pay my bills

I need money (that's what I want)
That's what I want
That's what I want
That's what I want

(Bridge)

Oh money (that's what I want)
Oh lots of money (that's what I want)
Oh money (that's what I want)
That's what I want
That's what I want
A whole lot of money

Money can't buy everything, it's true
But what it can but I can use


I need money (that's what I want)
That's what I want
That's what I want
That's what I want

(repeat first verse)

That's what I want
A whole lot of money
