[Verse 1]
It's true what they say, you gotta run free
To learn the very secrets of life
And life ain't a joke, because when you're broke
You can't pay your debts with a smile

[Pre-Chorus]
I've seen a whole lot of ramblin' at backstreet motels
Where all the honky tonk cats
Go chasin' for rats
I'm through with my job and the factory smell
I have the right to expect, a little respect
I ain't got a dime to be saved in a bank
That's why I gotta be frank

[Chorus]
Lovin' you
Is lovin' you just for the money
Ooh, loving you
Is the kind of livin' I want to do

[Post-Chorus]
Play tennis together on top off a hill
We're happy forever as long as you will
Love just for the money
[Verse 2]
How deep is your love and your credit account?
I gotta know all the facts
To get in the act
Invite all my friends to a Church out of town
I have to send them some bucks
To rent them a tux

[Pre-Chorus]
You know they gotta look-a nice
When they stand in the aisle
And sing along
With a great, great big smile

[Chorus]
Lovin' you
Is lovin' you just for the money
Ooh, lovin' you
Is the kind of livin' I want to do

[Post-Chorus]
When I face the altar and give you my ring
The reverend's daughter and choir will sing
Love just for the money

[Chrous]
Lovin' you
Is loving you just for the money
Ooh, loving you
Is the kind of livin' I want to do
[Outro/Post-Chorus, sung]
We'll go for a honeymoon cruise to La France
Our lives will be sunny if you take a chance
Love just for the money
(Love just for the money)
Love just for the money..
