"Money (That's What I Want)" Lyrics

by Janie Bradford and Berry Gordy

As Released by Barrett Strong (1959)

The best things in life are free
But you can get 'em to the birds and bees
I need money (that's what I want)
That's what I want (that's what I want)
That's what I want (that's what I want)
That's what I want (that's what I want)

Your love give me such a thrill
But your love don'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 (that's what I want)
That's what I want (that's what I want)

Money don't get everything, it's true
But what it don't get, I can't use
I need money (that's what I want)
That's what I want (that's what I want)
That's what I want (that's what I want)
That's what I want (that's what I want)

Money (that's what I want)
Lots of money (that's what I want)
Whole lot of money (that's what I want)
Aha (that's what I want)
Aha ha ha ha ha(that's what I want)
Whoa yeah (that's what I want)

Give me money (that's what I want)
A lots of money (that's what I want)
Always need greens (that's what I want)
(that's what I want)
Aha ha ha ha ha (that's what I want)
Whoa yeah (that's what I want)



As Released by the Beatles (1963)

The best things in life are free
But you can keep 'em for the birds and bees.
Now gimme money (that's what I want)
That's what I want (that's what I want)
That's what I want (that's what I want), oh yeah,
That's what I want.

Your lovin' give me a thrill
But your lovin' don't pay my bills.
Now gimme money (that's what I want)
That's what I want (that's what I want)
That's what I want (that's what I want), oh yeah,
That's what I want.

Money don't get everything it's true.
What it don't get I can't use.
Now gimme money (that's what I want)
That's what I want (that's what I want)
That's what I want (that's what I want), oh yeah,
That's what I want.

Money don't get everything it's true.
What it don't get I can't use.
Now gimme money (that's what I want)
That's what I want (that's what I want),
That's what I want (that's what I want), oh yeah,
That's what I want.

Well now give me money (that's what I want)
A lot of money (that's what I want)
Oh yeah, I wanna be free (that's what I want)
Oh a lot of money (that's what I want)
That's what I want (that's what I want), oh yeah
That's what I want.

Well now give me money (that's what I want)
A lot of money (that's what I want)
Whoa,yeah you know I need to be free (that's what I want)
Oh, now give me money money! (that's what I want)

Have any of you gotten an perfect score on "The Lads from Liverpool" yet?

I got it on my iPhone yesterday and have played it tons of times already. It's just awesome.
