Well my baby's just like money true while you hold her tight
But if you let her go she'll blow like dough honky tonk day and night
For a friend of mine came and wised me up and this is what he said
For money goes from hand to hand and your baby goes from man to man

Listen now baby and I don't mean maybe
I'm telling you you're making me blue that's why I know its true
For it goes to show your just like dough the root of all evil
For money goes from hand to hand and my baby goes from man to man

Yeah my baby's just like money she goes everywhere
And I'm a telling you her loves untrue and I know that she done care
Just as long as she's got a ticket to ride that gals satisfied
For money goes from hand to hand and my baby goes from man to man

Listen now baby and I don't mean maybe
You've got to change your way starting today
Or your daddy's not gonna stay
For I found out honey your just like money the root of all evil
For money goes from hand to hand and you know you go from man to man
