[Verse 1] You know, the landlord rang my front door bell I let it ring for a long, long spell I went to the window I peeped through the blind And asked him to tell me what was on his mind He said [Chorus] Money, honey, a-huh-huh Money, honey Money, honey, if you want to get along with me [Verse 2] Well, I screamed and I hollered I was so hard-pressed I called the woman that I loved the best I finally got my baby about half past three She said I'd like to know what you want with me I said [Chorus] [Verse 3] Well, I said "Tell me baby, what's wrong with you? From this day on our romance is through? I said Tell me baby, face to face How could another man take my place? She said [Chorus] [Verse 4] Well, I've learned my lesson and now I know The sun may shine and the winds may blow The women may come and the women may go But before I say I love you so I want [Chorus]
