when the money runs out
what will we do?
turn around and start anew
takes all your lovin' babe
to pull me through
without your love what would I do?

'cos I'd put you and me babe
up against the world
there ain't nobody else
like you 'n' me, girl
who wants the money
and the luxary
when love 'n' happiness
is all you need?

can't you see all you're living for
is dollars and cents
it don't make no sense
and all you think about
in the final end
is spend, spend, spend

so when the money runs out
we'll fly away
quit the city life 'n' find a hideaway
live in the country, babe
off the fat of the land
with nothin' to worry 'bout
no money in the bank

who needs the money
what does it mean?
another roll of paper, babe, in a sea of green
to live life for money
you gotta be mad
when I watch you turn it up
you know I feel so sad

so when the money runs out
what will you do?
turn to me, babe, 'n' I'll pull you through
we'll give back the diamonds
'n' we'll sell the car
we'll live the simple life
and make a brand new start yeah

'cos Id put you 'n' me babe
up against the world
there ain't nobody else
like you 'n' me, girl
take away the money, babe
look at what we go
warm love 'n' happiness
