Love Don't Mean a Thing

If I work hard every day
For my money
If I work my finger down to the bone
That ain't funny

Now if I see
Something I can't buy
I put a dollar down
Then I try try try

To get my money
I need my money
A woman who ain't got a dime
I can't use her no

If she ain't got no cash money
I've got to refuse her
I need a woman
With a whole lot of will

So she help me, baby
Help me pay my bill
I need my money
I've got to have money

I need lovin' to give me a livin'
So don't ask me I don't need forgivin'
I will stand up to count the cost
But I know I won't stand the loss

I need a woman
With a whole lotta will
She can help me pay my bill
I need my money

I want my money
Before I say my prayers
I count my money
When I wake up

It has to be there
My money
You see, love--it don't mean a thing
When she loves you

She can't bring, can't bring you no money
I've got to have my money

Lookin' for lovin'
I need a livin'
