Lyrics
MONEY NEVER MEANT THAT MUCH TO ME
Words & Music by Elliot St. Paul, © 2002 ELLIOT ST. PAUL MUSIC INC., BMI
INTRO: THIS HERE?S THE STORY OF MY OLD UNCLE MO
THE EASIEST GOIN? GUY YOU?D EVER WANNA KNOW
HE LIVED TO BE ALMOST A HUNDRED AND FIVE
AND HERE?S HIS SIMPLE SECRET FOR STAYIN? ALIVE. HE SAID:
VERSE 1: MONEY NEVER MEANT THAT MUCH TO ME
JUST NEED ENOUGH TO GET ALONG
THAT?S THE SECRET OF LONGEVITY
NO CHARGE, PASS IT RIGHT ALONG.
VERSE 2: AND YOU CAN?T BURN THE CANDLE AT BOTH ENDS
AND WORK YOUR FINGERS TO THE BONE
ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKES JACK A DULL BOY
AND YOU NEVER FIND THE TIME TO COME HOME
C?MON HOME, C?MON HOME, C?MON HOME
DON?T LEAVE HER SITTIN? HOME ALONE.
VERSE 3: IT DON?T MATTER WHAT KINDA CAR YOU DRIVE
OR WHAT KINDA HOUSE THAT YOU CALL HOME
JUST SO LONG AS THERE?S LOVE INSIDE
YOU CAN?T GO WRONG, YOU CAN?T GO WRONG,
YOU CAN?T GO WRONG, YOU CAN?T GO WRONG,
DON?T EVER LEAVE YOUR HAPPY HOME.
BRIDGE: DON?T WORSHIP MONEY, NIGHT AND DAY
DON?T WORSHIP MONEY, TAKE THE TIME TO PLAY
GET YOURSELF A LIFE, NOT JUST A LIFESTYLE
AND YOU?LL BE HAPPY ALL THE WHILE
'CAUSE
(CHORUS)
