Money Won’t Change You lyrics

[Verse 1]
Told me, darling, that you had to go
Go fetch somebody, I don't care no more
Although you're happy, try to get along
Money won't change you

[Chorus]
Money won't change you
Money won't change you
But time will take you on
Looka here

[Verse 2]
You tell somebody that once been hurt
Then you know how it mean to be treated like dirt
Go ahead, baby, tell the world
That you're my woman and my only girl

[Chorus]
Money won't change you
Money won't change you
I said, Money won't change you
But time will take you on

[Bridge with alto sax by Nat Jones]
Get up, get up, get up
Ow, ow!
[Verse 3]
I know you're happy
I know you're happy
And now you're gone
Money won't change you

[Chorus]
Money won't change you, mama
Money won't change you
I said, money won't change you
But time will take you on
Looka here, looka here
Look here

[Verse 4]
I said, with a smile as good as gold
With a smile now that can't be sold
You said, baby, that you had to go
Go fetch somebody, I don't care no more
Tell your friends I was a fool
The troubled woman, you got to go to school
And a lover from way back home
I have a ball wherever I roam
Dance in the street, in the car, too
Mashed Potatoes and I Boogaloo
Come on, baby, and let yourself go
Come on, baby, and let yourself go
Come on, baby, and let yourself go, ha ha
Fetch somebody, I don't care no more
Me and you can have a good time
Me and you can have a good time
Come on Nat and play your horn
Come on Nat and play your horn
[Bridge with alto sax by Nat Jones]
Get up, get up, get up
Looka here

[Verse 5]
Told me darling, you had to go
Fetch somebody, I don't care no more
Everybody and all your friends
Tell you that you gotta go home again

[Chorus]
I know all along that
Money won't change you
But time will take you on
Will take you on

[Verse 6]
I got the time I gotta spend
With my buddy and my best friend
Told you I’ll dance wherever I go
I mash potatoes and do it slow
I don’t dance to suit myself
I like to suit everybody else

Little child can’t get no work
Little child can’t get no work
Hold tight, hold
Hold tight, oh yeah
Hold out, hold out, hold out
Hold down, hold it, slow it down, hold down
Hold, hold, hold, hold
Get it, get it, get it, get it
Get it, get it, get it, get it
Get it, get it, get it, get it
Get it, get it, get it
Get on up, get on up
Get on up, get on on
Come on, baby
Come on, baby

[Outro]
Everybody stand up
Everybody stand up
Raise your hands
Raise your hands
Raise your hands
Raise your hands
Let me hear you say I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
I'm gone, so long
I'm gone, so long
I'm gone, so long
I'm gone, so long
I'm gone, so long
