She was coming to town on a whirlwind tour and my baby just had to go. So I stood in line for sixteen hours for a ninety-minute show. I spent eighty-seven dollars for nosebleed tickets and another twenty on a beer. It kinda looked like Madonna, but a whole lot smaller: I couldn’t really tell from there. And I want my money, I want my money back. (Gimme my money back.) Well, I know it’s gone, I should move on but that don’t change the fact. (Gimme my money back.) It just ain’t right: no way, nobody oughta do somebody like that. So where’s my money? I want my money back.
Spent four long years filling up my head with a higher education. Well, they promised me the skills I need to improve my situation. Forty-five grand bought a long back gown and a tassle on my hat. And now I’m qualified to supersize and say: "Do you want fries with that?"
And I want my money, I want my money back. (Gimme my money back.) Well, I know it’s gone, I should move on but that don’t change the fact. (Gimme my money back.) It just ain’t right: no way, nobody oughta do somebody like that. So where’s my money? I want my money back.
I know I’m only dreaming, yeah. I’m never gonna see it again. But it doesn’t hurt to ask.
It just ain’t right: no way, nobody oughta do somebody like that. And I want my money, where’s my money? Find that money, ‘cause I need my money. Gimme my money, I want my money back.
Gimme my money back. Gimme my money back. I want my money back.
