Oh it takes a lot of money to treat my little honey like I want to
Yes it takes a lot of money to treat my little honey like I want to
I'd have to be a movie star and drive a big big Cadillac car
And have a pocketful of money to treat my little honey like I want to

Oh I'm so in love with you honey but I think your count sure runs thin
And everytime I get a little money the prices get out again

Oh it takes a lot of money...

[ guitar - steel - dobro ]

Oh these worn out clothes I'm wearin' they sure are an awful sight

If it wasn't for these bills I'm payin' I'd be with you every night

Oh it takes a lot of money...

Yes it takes a lot of money to treat my little honey like I want to
