My Baby's Just Like Money

(альбом: Great Sound - 1966)

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
"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 it's true

For it goes to show you're 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 love's untrue
And I know that she don't care

Just as long as she's got a ticket to ride
That gal's 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 gotta change your way starting today
Or your daddy's not gonna stay

For I found out, honey, you're just like money
The root of all evil
For money goes from hand to hand
And you know you go from man to man
