[Intro: Claudette Robinson and The Miracles]
I need some money to buy the groceries and I need some money to pay the milkman!

Pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, dollars
Money

They're driving me crazy!

[Verse 1: Smokey Robinson]
Honey, all you think about is money
Oh baby, you drive me crazy

[Chorus: Smokey Robinson and Claudette Robinson]
Both night and day, you always say
I need some money

[Verse 2: Smokey Robinson]
You want a dollar
If I say no, you start to holler
You mistreat me
But just the same, each time you greet me

[Chorus: Smokey Robinson and Claudette Robinson]
Both night and day, you always say
I need some money
[Bridge: Claudette Robinson]
I have to buy the groceries
Pay the paper boy, milkman too
You don't seem to realise
I'm spending most of this money on you

[Verse 3: Smokey Robinson]
Well-a, well-a, well-a, well-a maybe
What you said is true, baby
But still
You don't know how it makes me feel

[Chorus: Smokey Robinson and Claudette Robinson]
Both night and day, you always say
I need some money

[Bridge: Claudette Robinson]
I have to buy the groceries
Pay the paper boy, milkman too
You don't seem to realise
I'm spending most of this money on you

[Verse 4: Smokey Robinson]
Well, maybe
What you're sayin' is true, baby
Oh, but still
You don't know how it makes me feel
[Chorus: Smokey Robinson and Claudette Robinson]
Both night and day, you always say
I need some money, honey
Both night and day, you always say
I need some money, honey
Both night and day, you always say
I need some money, honey
Both night and day, you always say
I need some money, honey
