Ted Gärdestad Lyrics
"Just For The Money"

ItÂ's true what they say
You gotta run free
To learn the very secrets of life
And life ainÂ't a joke
Because when youÂ're broke
You canÂ't pay your debts with a smile
IÂ've seen a whole lot of ramblinÂ' at backstreet motels
Where all the honky tonk cats
Go chasinÂ' for rats
IÂ'm through with my job and the factory smell
Ii have the right to expect
A little respect
I ainÂ't got a dime to be saved in a bank
ThatÂ's why I gotta be frank
LovinÂ' you
Is lovinÂ' you just for the money
Ooh loving you
Is the kind of livinÂ'
I want to do
Play tennis together on top off a hill
WeÂ're happy forever as long as you will
Love just for the money
How deep is your love and your credit account
I gotta know all the facts
To get in the act
Invite all my friends to a church outta town
I have to send them some bucks
To rent them a tux
You know they gotta looka nice
When they stand in the aisle
And sing along
With a great great big smile
LovinÂ' you
Is lovinÂ' you just for the money
Ooh lovinÂ' you
Is the kind of livinÂ' I want to do
When I face the altar and give you my ring
The reverendÂ's daughter and choir will sing
Love just for the money
LovinÂ' you
Is loving you just for the money
Ooh loving you
Is the kind of livinÂ' I want to do
WeÂ'll go for a honeymoon cruise to La France
Our lives will be sunny if you take a chance
Love just for the money
