(Written by B. Gordy/J. Bradford.) The best things in life are free So give them to the birds and the bees I need money (that's what I want) That's what I want That's what I want That's what I want Your lovin gives me such a thrill But your lovin can't pay my bills I need money (that's what I want) That's what I want That's what I want That's what I want (Bridge) Oh money (that's what I want) Oh lots of money (that's what I want) Oh money (that's what I want) That's what I want That's what I want A whole lot of money Money can't buy everything, it's true But what it can but I can use I need money (that's what I want) That's what I want That's what I want That's what I want (repeat first verse) That's what I want A whole lot of money
