[Verse 1]
Money talks

And it don't walk
And long as I can have you
Here with me, I'd much rather be
Forever in blue jeans
[Bridge]
Honey's sweet

Forever in blue jeans
[Chorus]

But the sound of my heart
And your sighs
[Verse 2]
Money talks
But it can't sing and dance
And it can't walk
And long as I can have you
Here with me, I'd much rather be
Forever in blue jeans, babe
[Bridge]
And honey's sweet
But it ain't nothin' next to baby's treat
And if you pardon me I'd like to say
We'd do okay
Forever in blue jeans
[Chorus]
Maybe tonight
Maybe tonight, by the fire
All alone you and I
Nothing around
But the sound of my heart
And your sighs
[Verse 3]
Money talks
But it don't sing and dance
And it don't walk
And long as I can have you
Here with me
I'd much rather be
Forever in blue jeans
[Outro]
And if you pardon me
I'd like to say
We'd do okay
Forever in blue jeans, babe
And long as I can have you
Here with me
I'd much rather be
Forever in blue jeans, babe
Long as I can have you
Here with me
I'd much rather be—
