If you got a Cadillac, boy, and a forty room shack, boy
A bucket full of money and a tree full of honey
But if you got no huggin', no smoochin' or muggin'
Well, if you ain't lovin' then you ain't livin'

If you're ridin' on the gravy train instead of walkin' down Lover's Lane
You can't make hay, boy, you're goin' the wrong way, boy
You gotta get a little honey, it's better than money
Well, if you ain't lovin' then you ain't livin'

If they call you a big man 'cause you got a lot of bottom land
If you're kin to the president and if you help run the government
But if you get no attention, you better off on a pension
Well, if you ain't lovin' then you ain't livin'

If you got a string of long cars and you're smoking them fourbit cigars
You ain't so well to do unless you get a little coochy coo
It takes a little of smackin' or your life is a lackin'
Well, if you ain't lovin', well brother, then you ain't livin'
