Won't buy you love
Or happiness
Won't buy you love
Or happiness
(Money) Won't buy you love
(Money) Or happiness
(Money) Won't buy you love
(Money) Or happiness
So many people that I know (they're strugglin')
So many places that I go (the same)
It's just another day
By any kind or way
They have got to get some of that mighty cold cash (gotta get mighty cold cash)
Now there are others who love to live it up
They spend in every way (every single way)
The only problem is
To keep this life of bliss
They have got to chase that dollar or it won't last (chase that dollar, or it won't last)
Where do your priorities lie? (where do they lie)
Your wealth won't by (won't get you by)
True love's the key to life and happiness
There's better things to do
With what He's given you
Invest your time in God and not the
Chorus:
Money
Won't buy you happiness
You'll find that your success
It won't buy you love
Money
Won't buy you happiness
You'll find that your success
It won't buy you love
Please don't misunderstand me (oh no please don't misunderstand me)
There's so much money can do (for you)
But it's so distracting
The problems attracting
Now when you let your money take ahold of you (let your money take ahold of you)
We spend like there will be no tomorrow (no tomorrow)
It happens everyday (every single day)
Success will only come
Once we have learned to trust
Leave it, let it 'lone, let God take full complete control (leave it, let it 'lone, let God take full complete control)
What (Hey) we are dealing with (Hey)
Is lack of faith in Him (Hey)
That he will supply our every need
Just wait on the Lord (Just wait on Him)
And what you're lookin' for
Will be there when you need it, know that
Repeat Chorus
There's a cancer in the nation, a disease of deprivation
It's the hunger for the power, it's a capitalist sensation
It disguises all the glitter, makes it look as fine as honey
But the way that you can spot it is a greedy taste for money
Is it really, really all that you're about, is money?
Can you really, really ever do without the money?
If it's gonna be the reason for the strife, the money?
Gotta see that there is more to livin' life than money
Don't get me wrong it's not the money or the power
Or the things that you acquire that oppose a man's salvation
But when you constantly pursue, it is now controlling you
You are headed for some trouble and temptation
Some people crave it, others use it, in the struggle they abuse it
They believe that with it they can buy their dreams
But they would quickly realize if they open up their eyes
Is that there's more to having money than it seems
It's just a dirty piece of paper, many colors, different labels
Some coins that you can barter and exchange
But if you let it, it can hurt you, it can make your friends desert you
'Cause you're values have been totally rearranged
Is it really, really all that you're about, is money? (Is it really all that you're about?)
Can you really, really ever do without the money?
If it's gonna be the reason for the strife, the money? (Don't let it, don't let it be the reason)
Gotta see that there is more to livin' life than money
