Money’s My Problem lyrics

[Intro]
Ah!

[Verse 1]
There a lot of things in this world
That I don't think cost a dime
Somebody tell me please
Where in the world are mine?
Money's the thing that I never had
I guess that's the reason that I'm always mad

[Verse 2]
They say that love is heaven sent
And the best things in life are free
But I never met a woman yet
That would let my wallet be
I can't take a girl out to wine or dine
Workin' my wallet overtime

[Bridge]
I got bills on thе right of me, bills on the left
Bills all ovеr the place
Someday I know I'm gonna straighten up
And you'll see a smilin' face

[Verse 3]
Fast as the money is made
You know the money's spent
If it ain't the telephone bill
It's the landlord with the rent
I reach in my pocket for a dollar or two
Bet you're life I'll pull an IOU
[Saxophone Solo]
Ah!

[Bridge]
Lord, with the bill collector at the door
I owe the taxman even more
Uh, what can you do? That's the way it goes
First, your money, then your clothes

[Verse 4]
Maybe someday before I'm old
I'll find me a batch of bread
I don't think I will 'cause before too long
Not before I lose my head
Money's the thing I never had
That's the reason I'm always mad

[Outro]
Yeah
Ow
