One, two, one, two, three, yeah Well, I makes money, money don't make me And that's the way I am and it's plain to see Get right for yourself, can't put you on the shelf Live and let live, you know it's plain enough There ain't a dollar in the world make me change my stuff Now, I met a lots of men who told me When they finally make their first million They're gonna live like kings, gonna try everything Gonna flatter pretty women If they know how to do it, why not get to it Instead of waiting all your life Your life is only doing, what you think is worth pursuing Instead of waiting all the time Well, I makes money, money don't make me And that's the way I am and it's plain to see Get right for yourself, can't put you on the shelf Live and let live, you know it's plain enough There ain't a dollar in the world that make me change my stuff Now if you find yourself waiting and you know you're hesitating Get your butt off the ground It ain't money or your honey and you know it's kind of funny When it's all boiled down You gonna be the man, you know you certainly can Just do it, do it, do it, do it, do it Clothes don't make the man, money won't help you stand Any truer than you're doin' Well, I makes money, money don't make me And that's the way I am and it's plain to see Get right for yourself, can't put you on the shelf Live and let live, you know it's plain enough There ain't a dollar in the world that make me change my stuff So you'll never find the endin', sittin' and pretending You're gonna do it sometime Keep it knocking on wood, doing exactly what you should Trying to save ten cents Keep build 'em up higher, so you can retire To your castle in the blue But you find it's all behind and it's probably slipped your mind And you're too pooped to toot I makes money, money don't make me And that's the way I am and it's plain to see Get right for yourself, can't put you on the shelf Live and let live, you know it's plain enough There ain't a dollar in the world that make me change my stuff
