There was a little girl I had planned to marry This was my love, I didn't want to share it I thought that love would make my life bright and sunny She said she couldn't love me cause I didn't have no money So everyday I have to cry some Everyday I have to cry some Dry the water from my eye some Everyday I have to cry I had me a girl, I guess I really loved her Every night I was thinkin' of her But you can't mix love with money Cause if you do it's gonna hurt somebody Chorus Lord I know that I'm just a poor man But is it wrong to love cause I'm not a rich man Every time you mix love with money Every time it hurts somebody Chorus
