[Verse 1]
Louis has money
Just at a time in his life when he thought he was hopeless
You see him a lot these days
On the cover of this, on the back of that
Looking a hundred different ways
Louis, you have money

[Verse 2]
Louis has moved on
All of his friends wanna get somewhere
He used to hang out but he can't go back there just now

[Chorus]
And all his affairs are economic
He says, "That's not the way that I want it
Holy Moses! I got my share"

[Verse 3]
How is he doing?
Ma says he wears too much makeup
With all the wrong people he tends to take up
He tries to tell her, "Thing change, Ma"
She ain't buyin' it Lou
She doesn't see the need for you to be such a modern man
[Chorus]
And all his affairs are economic
He says, "That's not the way that I want it
Holy Moses! I got my share"

[Outro]
He's got nobody to thank
If he's cryin' at all he's cryin' all the way to the bank
