My baby loves me for my money

I know just what she wants from me

She'll hug and squeeze and call me honey

As long as she gets in for free

I give her all that I can give her

I always know what's on her mind

It's all that cash I can deliver

That keeps her comin' home on time.

I know that I'm not much to look at

Maybe I'm just a bit too large

Sometimes I growl just like a big cat

Just want to know that I'm in charge

But she just tells me that I'm funny

And she forgives my little quirks

My baby loves me for my money

And you know for me that works.

No, she don't need no debonair,

Don't need emotional honesty.

As long as all the good stuff's there

She is content to let me be.

I know that all good things must finish

And there is bound to come a day

When my bankroll is diminished

I know just what she's gonna say

She'll tell me, “Babe, it's sure been sunny,

But if you're broke I've got to go.”

My baby love's me for my money.

Without it she'll be gone I know.

My baby love's me for my money.

Until it's gone I'll just enjoy.
