[Verse 1]
Walking down the streets of the city
I'm feeling so good
I think I own this town
I know I don't have much money
But tonight I can't a little thing
Like that bring me down
[Pre-Chorus]
Times are hard for the working man
And I work so hard
And I'm doing
Every little thing that I can
I know tonight that I'm not
Part of your plans
But I'd love to be
The one to show you
That money don't make no man
[Chorus]
(Money don't make no man)
Have mercy
Don't let this poor boy
Go lonely tonight
(Money don't make no man)
Have mercy
Don't let this poor boy
Go lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Lonely tonight, yeah
[Verse 2]
Everybody's got to have a dream
And tonight I'm dreaming
That I'm gonna end up in your arms
I took one look in your eyes
And I could hear the thunder
And feel the lightning strike my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
Times are hard for the working man
And I work so hard
And I'm doing
Every little thing I can, baby
I know tonight that I'm not
Part of your plans
But I'd love to be
The one to show you
That money don't make no man
[Chorus]
(Money don't make no man)
Have mercy
Don't let this poor boy
Go lonely tonight, yeah
(Money don't make no man)
Please, have lil' mercy
Don't let this poor boy
Go lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Lonely tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
Times are hard for the working man
And I work so hard
And I'm doing
Every little thing that I can
I know tonight that I'm not
Part of your plans
But I'd love to be
The one to show you
That money don't make no man
[Chorus]
(Money don't make no man)
Have mercy
Don't let this poor boy
Go lonely tonight, yeah
(Money don't make no man)
Have mercy
Don't let this poor boy
Go lonely tonight
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
(Money don't make no man)
Please, have lil' mercy
Don't let this poor boy
Go lonely tonight, yeah
(Money don't make no man)
Have mercy
Don't let this poor boy
Go lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Lonely tonight
Yeah yeah
(Money don't make no man)
[Outro]
Real now, baby, baby, I said
Don't let, don't let, don't let, don't let
Please, don't le-le-le-let me be lonely
(Money don't make no man)
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Don't let, don't let, don't let, don't let
Please, don't le-le-le-let me be lonely
(Money don't make no man)
Money don't make no man
Don't let, don't let, don't let, don't let
Please, don't le-le-le-let me be lonely
(Money don't make no man)
