This was the most successful hit on the album, maybe it being something most guys can relate too. This is a song about gold-diggers before they even label as them, the song is explains about a female taking advantage of a guy and getting him to come out his pockets.

She knows I want her
She knows I need her
She knows she got my love
But I'm apprehensive
She's so expensive, girl
Just can't get enough
I'm the one who does 9 to 5
Hustlin' for my bread
While she's decidin' what dress to buy
Layin' around in my bed
Goin' to the bank
She got me goin' to the bank
She keeps me runnin' to the bank
She got me, got me
Drives my Mercedes
Lunch with the ladies
She loves the finer things
What have I created
Now I'm afraid to see what tomorrow brings
She don't know what it does to me trying to keep her in line
If love is just a big charge account
Why'd it have to be mine?
Goin' to the bank
She got me goin' to the bank
She keeps me runnin' to the bank
She got me, got me
Hello, oh hi
Can I help you today?
Yeah
I'd like to make another withdrawal
Again? Yeah, again
Well, as you know
By now there is a substantial penalty
For early withdrawal
She knows I love her
Knows how I need her
She knows I really care
I can't afford her
I should've taught her, I ain't no billionaire
Gotta get her to understand soon the will be dry
If she don't love the simple things
Maybe I'm the wrong guy
Goin' to the bank
She got me goin' to the bank
She keeps me runnin' to the bank
She got me, got me
She thinks she saves me money buyin' everything on sale
But she believes in quantity
Now I'm afraid to open my mail
Goin' for the bank
She got me goin' to the bank
Now the girl's gotta look good for me
But this is going too far
'Cause she won't feel so beautiful when they repossess my car
Goin' to the B A N K
She got me goin' to the bank
Goin' to the bank
She got me goin' to the bank
She keeps me runnin' to the bank
She got me, got me
Goin' to the B A N K
B a n k
