When I was a little girl
I used to think I was wrong for wanting diamonds and pearls
I never had anything no Chanel or Tiffany like all the popular girls
They say the best things are free but I don't get what they mean
'Cause I want everything

And money doesn't grow on trees
You can't just plant a seed
You gotta work it out

Gimme some of that cold cash
I want to stuff it in my couch
C'mon bring me those big stacks
I need them bricks to build my house
Give me all of that, all of that 'til the ATM runs out
If money can't buy happiness then why is it so fabulous?

When I was only 15, I packed my bags and I# said
Goodbye to mom and dad
I was afraid and alone, living without a home
Got rid of all I had
They say the best things are free but I can't get what I need
Without some currency

And money doesn't grow on trees
You can't just plant a seed
You gotta work it out

Gimme some of that cold cash
I want to stuff it in my couch
Come on bring me those big stacks
I need them bricks to build my house
Give me all of that, all of that 'til the ATM runs out
If money can't buy happiness then why is it so fabulous?

Make that money
Make my own money
Gonna make that money
Make my own money
Make that money
Make my own money
If money can't buy happiness then why is it so fabulous?

Gimme some of that cold cash
I want to stuff it in my couch
Come on bring me those big stacks
I need them bricks to build my house
Give me all of that, all of that 'til the ATM runs out
If money can't buy happiness then why is it so fabulous?

Gimme some of that cold cash
I want to stuff it in my couch
Come on bring me those big stacks
I need them bricks to build my house
Give me all of that, all of that 'til the ATM runs out
