Why you wanna [?], oh no, just don't take it away
(Yessir. Come on, man, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout.)
The things that money buy, is just the things that money buy
But the things that's really worth it, well, they make me feel alright

Don't take it away
Hear what I say
Don't take it away

(Hey, man, don't take it away. It's all I've got y'all

Why you wanna [?], oh no, just don't take it away
Don't take it away
Hear what I say
Don't take it away
Hear what I say
(Don't take it away
