Lyrics Money and Me - Barrett Strong

Gonna tell you a story about money and me
And just how bad money can be

I thought all I wanted was money
But I am here to tell you, honey
When some money hit my pocket
Trouble came in just like a rocket
Oh, woe-oh-oh-oh is me

Got all the money that I desire
My taxes went up, my bills got higher
Then I moved to a better neighborhood
Since I moved, ain't nothin' been good
No, oh, woe-oh-oh-oh is me

I was living in a high class bracket
Then I put my money in the racket
The racket went broke, and broke me too
Now I'm so broke and I don't know what to do
No, oh, woe-oh-oh-oh is me

When I had a bank account
Had many women in large amounts
They were all so weak to me
Now they don't even speak to me
No, oh, woe-oh-oh-oh is me

Open charge account and dressed to kill
Now I can't even pay my bill
Bought a fine car just the other day
The man just came and towed it away
Yeah, oh, woe-oh-oh-oh is me
Woe is me, just as broke as I can be is me
Yeah, just as broke as I can be
Woe is me, just as broke as I can be is me
Woe is me
