I'll tell you what love is
And this is no lie
Love is a five letter word
Spelled M-O-N-E-Y

And love without money
Is like the shirt without the tie
Love is a five letter word
Spelled M-O-N-E-Y

You can't live on kisses
Nor a warm embrace
If there's something that you're missing
Got to have cash to take its place

Sweet talk comes easy
Sometimes it'll get you by
Love is a five letter word
Spelled M-O-N-E-Y

Let the poets write of love
It sounds good I can't deny it
Let them write about the stars above
And the moon up in the sky

'Cause it's one thing I know
Without it you don't have a thing
But if you've got money honey, money honey
You can live just like you're a king
You can't live on kisses
Nor a warm embrace
If there's something that you're missing
Then you've got to have cash to take its place

Sweet talk comes easy
Sometimes it's gonna get you by
Love is a five letter word
Spelled M-O-N-E-Y

You got to have brace
That's what I said
You got to have toll
Got to have toll, baby don't you know?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah....
Love is a five letter word spelled M-O-N-E-Y
Love is a five letter word spelled M-O-N-E-Y
Just one more time to go
Love is a five letter word spelled M-O-N-E-Y
