I may be crazy, but I ain't no fool
I live my life by the golden rule
That money can't buy everything it's true
Yeah, but what it won't buy, I can't use
I want love (love or money) I want money
Gimme love (love or money) or gimme money
My baby loved me when I was down
Yeah, but now I'm up, and she's still around
And she's got a sports car, credit cards, her clothes are the best
We're still alive, I wouldn't put it to the test no, no
She wants love (love or money) and a whole lotta money
A whole lotta love (love or money) and a whole lotta money
Gimme love or money, gimme love or money
She said, "Money honey."
That's what I want, is a whole lotta money
Over here!
My baby says her love is heavy
Yeah, but it don't measure up to English pounds
Or Swiss franks, German marks
Gimme the greenback dollar, oh yeah
Just gimme money, gimme money, gimme money
Love or money, gimme love or money
She says, "Money honey, that's what I want."
Just a whole lot of money
(Love or money)
That's what I want
(Love or money)
G-G-G-G-Gimme money
(Love or money)
G-G-G-Gimme Money, money, ayh
(Love or money)
(Love or money)

Ow, I don't know what I want, I can't get no peace
All I really know is, I don't need no priest
Hangin' religion around my back
Be it science-fiction, theory or fact
I don't know what I want, I can't get no peace
I got two fine cars, a house and a job
And by the time I'm 35, I'll be a fat slob
I don't care about 1985
'Cause if I ain't dead, you know I'll be half alive
I don't care about 1985
C'mon, get it while you can, there ain't much left to take
Go on, get it while you can, there ain't much left to take
Get it while you can, just like a 20th century man
You'll be a 20th Century man
A 20th Century man
I'm a 20th Century man, yeah
Aw shit
Hey, get outta there!
Watch it!
Hey, shut the door man, what's the matter with ya?
I don't know what I want, I can't get no peace
'Cause I'm a 20th Century man
Just a 20th Century man
I'm a 20th Century man
Be a 20th Century man
Get it while you can, there ain't much left to take, no
Go on, get it while you can, there ain't much left to take
You got to get it while you can, just like a 20th Century man
Go on be a 20th Century man
I'm a 20th Century man
Just a 20th Century man
I'm a 20th Century man

She needs love like it's goin' outta style
Sits down and cries about it once in a while
'Cause that, wakes me up sometimes, at 4:00am
Sayin', "Rock me baby, rock me baby, Aw hunny, roll me again
Yeah, but my baby's miles, and miles and miles and miles from boredom
Yeah, she keeps me miles and miles, and miles, and miles from boredom
Yes she does
She spends all my money with a high class taste
And you ain't got a chance if you ain't got it to waste
First, she sees it, she wants it, then gives it away
She up and changes her mind ten times a day
Yeah, but she keeps me miles, and miles, and miles, and miles from boredom
'Cause my baby's miles, and miles, and miles and miles from boredom
Yes she is
I say-
Miles and
Miles and
Miles and miles
She likes my car, she likes my fame
Take me for a ride, that's the name of the game
Yeah, but I wouldn't have it any other way
It's like havin' a different ch-ch-ch-ch everyday
Yeah, 'cause she's miles, and miles, and miles, and miles from boredom
Yeah, now my baby's miles, and miles, and miles, and miles from boredom
Uh, and she keeps me miles, and miles, and miles, and miles from boredom
Oh yeah, miles, and miles, and miles, and miles from boredom
When yer sick of that same old face
Doin' it, the same old ways
Lookin' at it, lookin' at it, day after day
Ah yeah

I want to know who's the boss around there
Somebody better step up now and make this all clear
They run your life with indecision
I would appreciate a little precision
But all I get is
Mommy sayin' ask your
Daddy says ask your Mom
Well I hang up the phone, said I'll be right there
Then I pull up front to find we ain't going nowhere, nowhere
Looks like somebody can't make up their mind
I gotta half a tank of gas, and all that I find is
Uh, Mommy says ask your
Daddy says ask your Mom
Now you've been walkin' the line all of this time
They don't know what your thinkin'
You got it all down, next time around
You've been doin' what you like
Partyin' all night
Playin' your records till the early early mornin' light, ow
That's right
Whoo
Uh, uh
Uh, uh
Uh, uh
Uh, uh
Alright
Well, they don't like me now 'cause I'm hip to their game
But just one more year, and they won't have no one to blame
'Cause baby you can come live with me
It ain't no life of luxury
But no Mama sayin' ask your
Daddy sayin' ask your Mom
There'll be no more Mama said ask your
Daddy said ask your Mom
I'm sick of that, sick of that
Momma said ask your
Daddy said ask your Mom
'Cause there's no decisions
Just Mama said ask your
Daddy said ask your Mom, ow

Yeah, there's so much that you can't see
So many things that you can be
Your in the black, so you can be free
So many places you can hide
So many things you never tried
No need to know who's on your side
I got secrets in the night
And I've got confidence in the night
And I've got a chance in the night
No one cares who is who
If you believe it, it must be true
At last you, can be you
I've got secrets in the night
And I've got confidence in the night
And I've got a chance in the night
It happens slowly
The way we grow old, never knowing
Darkness fell
Slow and easy
As though nothing was wrong
Lost in a dream
Things are not the way they seem anymore
We've all been there before
How ever the darker it is, the better I see
I see through you, I see beyond me
I see black with color, I see the key
And I've got secrets in the night
Yeah, and I've got confidence in the night
And I've got a chance in the night, oh, oh

Well she had a bad reputation
So mother put you on probation
Now ain't it funny how the story goes
Well, seems like every boy you meet
Just tries to get you in the back seat
If you been there once, your gonna do it again
That's what they say when you
You've got a bad reputation
A bad reputation
But what a sensation
Ooh, you're such a temptation
Sometimes sneakin' out the window
Well, just as sure as the wind blows
Your in trouble when they find you out
With such a small circle of friends
The train is never gonna end
And some girls like it, yeah but, some don't
You, you, you got a bad reputation
A bad reputation
Aw, but what a sensation
Aw, you're such a temptation
You're the kind that wonders if love was made to last
Or if marriage is a thing of the past
Well, anyway you want it baby, that's the way its gonna be, yeah
'Cause if you're good enough for you, you're good enough for me, yeah
Alright
When she had a bad reputation
And now its a touchy situation
Well, just try to change in this small town
Where everybody knows your name
Expecting you to stay the same
Either put it up or they'll put you out
That's what they do when
You got a bad reputation
A bad reputation
But what a sensation
Ooh, you're such a temptation
You got a bad reputation
You know it's alright, it's alright with me
I'll take your bad reputation
You and your bad reputation
Whoo! C'mon, baby, yeah
Alright, hey, yeah

Just leave your message with my clone
'Cause I've just been through the Danger Zone
