Well my baby's just like money true while you hold her tight But if you let her go she'll blow like dough honky tonk day and night For a friend of mine came and wised me up and this is what he said For money goes from hand to hand and your baby goes from man to man Listen now baby and I don’t mean maybe I'm telling you you're making me blue that’s why I know its true For it goes to show your just like dough the root of all evil For money goes from hand to hand and my baby goes from man to man Yeah my baby's just like money she goes everywhere And I'm a telling you her loves untrue and I know that she done care Just as long as she's got a ticket to ride that gals satisfied For money goes from hand to hand and my baby goes from man to man Listen now baby and I don’t mean maybe You've got to change your way starting today Or your daddy’s not gonna stay For I found out honey your just like money the root of all evil For money goes from hand to hand and you know you go from man to man
