F#m
She said I want the money
I know you want it honey
Your skies will not be sunny
If you don't bring it home to me
Don't want to hear your crying
Cause baby I'm not trying
To wait for your dreams to fly in
Then she smiled and said to me

Chorus:
        F#m
Well, I don't believe in what you do
And I don't believe in what you say
I don't believe in you
You've got to pay the price
If you want to play - x2

You told me that you loved me
Was it just a charade?
Were you not thinking of me?
When are we going to get paid?
I have been waiting all the time
And I'm about to fade
You better make that money
Do you hear what I am saying?

Chorus - x2
