Lyrics

She's got money to spend,
She's got a brand new car.
A great big diamond ring,
And money to spend.
She's got a manager.
She's got a new mink coat.
And she arrives in a limousine,
With money to spend.
And she can talk, how I love to hear her talk.
She drives those young boys crazy with the way she talks
And she can walk. Old men come from miles around to see that walk.
Moves that never end, and money to spend.

She's got style - lots of style, my friend.
A solid gold cigarette case, and money to spend.
And those eyes - she can lie with those eyes.
You never know what's true, behind those eyes.
(Lemme tell you somethin')
She was mine - I know you don't believe it - but once, she was mine.
She drove me to the edge, and that was fine.
But then went bad. Lord knows she's bad.
But a man just can't say "no" to the best thing he's ever had!
And now she's got money to spend (yes she does).

Yeah, that's what I'm talkin' about, money to spend.
She's got money, alright. She's got MY money to spend.
All you boys out there, I know the way you're lookin' at those sweet young girls. Pretty soon, they'll have yo' money to spend.
Talkin' 'bout money to spend!
