Money Talks Lyrics

(Lead vocal - John Miles)

 Money don't grow on a money tree

 The more you take the less for me

 Money don't buy what you really need

 It make an iceman cry, a stoneman bleed

 But when you get right down to it, no matter who you are

 It rules your life like a virgin queen

 One day you might get over it, but in the meantime

 It rules the world likea green machine

 In the bank, in a box, money talks

 In the black, on the rocks, money talks, money talks

 Money don't lose in the money game

 It drags you down like a ball and chain

 So money don't come with a guarantee

 It make a fool of you, it make a fool of me

 But when you get right down to it, no matter what you say

 It ties you down but it can set you free

 Some day you might get over it, but in the meantime

 It burns you up in the first degree

 Moscow, Bangkok, money talk

 Park Lane, Boardwalk, money talk

 But when you get right down to it, no matter what you try

 You deal the cards, give the wheel a spin

 One day you might get over it but everybody knows

 It's heads you lose and it's tails they win

 Don't have too much to show for it, that's the way it goes

 You roll the dice and they cash you in

 Pinball, jukebox, money talks

 Redskins, White Sox, money talks

 Billboard, Cashbox, money talks
