If I Had the Money

VERSE
Livin’ on money already spent
I need next week’s check to make last month’s rent
Squeezin’ two nickels just to make a dime
I’m a man goin’ under workin’ overtime
CHORUS
But if I had the money I could buy the moon
Dance to the beat of a different tune
Spend a little more time lovin’ on you-oo
If I had the money that’s what I’d do
If I had the money that’s what I’d do
VERSE
I’d cut up my bills and my credit cards
Buy a matching set of those mason jars
Never been big on worldly things
But I’d fit your finger with a poor girl’s dream
CHORUS
Yeah if I had the money I could buy the moon
Dance to the beat of a different tune
Spend a little more time lovin’ on you-oo
If I had the money that’s what I’d do
If I had the money that’s what I’d do
INSTRUMENTAL
BRIDGE
The almighty dollar won’t buy true love
But it picks up a feller when he’s down on his luck
I’d help out a stranger, bail out a friend
And get myself out of the shape I’m in
REPEAT CHORUS
TAG
I’d spend a whole lotta time lovin’ on you
If I had the money that’s what I’d do
