For the Love of Money / Por amor a dinheiro (The O'Jays)

Money, money, money, money, money! (x6)
Some people got to have it!
Some people really need it!
Listen to me y'all, do things, do things, do bad things with it
You wanna do things, do things, do things, good things with it
Talk about cash money, money
Talk about cash money- dollar bills, y'all!

For the love of money,
People will steal from their mother!
For the love of money,
People will rob their own brother!
For the love of money,
People can't even walk the street!
Because they never know who in the world they're gonna beat!
For that lean, mean, mean green,
Almighty dollar, money!

For the love of money,
People will lie, Lord, they will cheat!
For the love of money,
People don't care who they hurt or beat!
For the love of money,
A woman will sell her precious body!
For a small piece of paper it carries a lot of weight!
Call it lean, mean, mean green!

Almighty dollar

I know money is the root of all evil
Do funny things to some people
Give me a nickel, brother can you spare a dime
Money can drive some people out of their minds

Got to have it, I really need it
How many things have I heard you say
Some people really need it
How many things have I heard you say
Got to have it, I really need it
How many things have I heard you say
Lay down, lay down, a woman will lay down
For the love of money
All for the love of money
Don't let, don't let, don't let money rule you
For the love of money
Money can change people sometimes
Don't let, don't let, don't let money fool you
Money can fool people sometimes
People! Don't let money, don't let money change you,
it will keep on changing, changing up your mind.
