You don't have to worry You don't have to hide You don't have to play the part of living like a saint There's no need to try You don't need the face on The make-up and all You don't have to slum it with the people in the street You don't have to crawl
It doesn't matter how you try to dress it up You're a solitary man That's all you'll ever be, with all the friends you buy And all the punch you got don't change a single thing You'll never understand
It's shining in your face It's dripping from your hand Money don't lie Money don't lie Money don't stab you in the back and say I love you baby Money don't try Money don't lie
You came up the hard way You had to get wise You didn't find it easy living cold out in the streets You had to survive You got with the action And learned all the names And then you paid off all the people who deliver The keys to the game
And all the time when you were living on the edge You had reason to believe That everything you did would work out for the best But how were you to know that they played you for a fool And suck you to the bone
It's shining in your face You're way out on your own Money don't lie Money don't lie Money don't put a bullet in you brain and say I love you baby Money don't try Money don't lie
(instrumental part)
It doesn't matter how you try to dress it up You're just a solitary man That's all you'll ever be, with all the friends you buy And all the punch you got don't change a single thing You'll never understand
It's shining in your face It's dripping from your hand Money don't lie Money don't lie Money don't put a dagger in your heart and say I love you baby Money don't try Money don't lie
