Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I said, "I'm sorry, baby, I'm leaving you tonight

I found someone new, he's waiting in the car outside"

"Aw, honey, how could you do it?

We swore each other everlasting love"

I said, "Well, yeah, I know, but when we did

There was one thing we weren't thinking of, and that's money"

[Chorus]

Money changes everything

I said money, money changes everything

We think we know what we're doing, that don't mean a thing

It's all in the past now, money changes everything

[Verse 2]

They shake your hand and they smile, and they buy you a drink

They say, "We'll be your friends, we'll stick with you till the end"

Ah, but everybody's only

Looking out for themselves

And you say, "Well, who can you trust?"

I'll tell you, it's just nobody else, it's money

[Chorus]

Money changes everything

I said money, money changes everything

You think you know what you're doing, we don't pull the strings

It's all in the past now, money changes everything

[Chorus]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, money, money changes everything

I said money, money changes everything

We think we know what we're doing, we don't know a thing

It's all in the past now, money changes everything

[Outro]

Hey, yeah, yeah

Money is everything, yes

Money changes everything, yeah

Money is everything

Money is everything, yes

Money changes everything, yeah, yeah

Money, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
