For The Love Of Money
O'Jays

Money money money money, money (x6)
Some people got to have it
Some people really need it
Listen to me y'all, do things, do things, do bad things with it
You wanna do things, do things, do things, good things with it
Talk about cash money, money
Talk about cash money- dollar bills, yall

For the love of money
People will steal from their mother
For the love of money
People will rob their own brother
For the love of money
People can't even walk the street
Because they never know who in the world they're gonna beat
For that lean, mean, mean green
Almighty dollar, money

For the love of money
People will lie, Lord, they will cheat
For the love of money
People don't care who they hurt or beat
For the love of money
A woman will sell her precious body
For a small piece of paper it carries a lot of weight
Call it lean, mean, mean green

Almighty dollar

I know money is the root of all evil
Do funny things to some people
Give me a nickel, brother can you spare a dime
Money can drive some people out of their minds

Got to have it, I really need it
How many things have I heard you say
Some people really need it
How many things have I heard you say
Got to have it, I really need it
How many things have I heard you say
Lay down, lay down, a woman will lay down
For the love of money
All for the love of money
Don't let, don't let, don't let money rule you
For the love of money
Money can change people sometimes
Don't let, don't let, don't let money fool you
Money can fool people sometimes
People! Don't let money, dont let money change you,
it will keep on changing, changing up your mind.

THE O'JAYS.one of my top (5) five, back-in-time groups....of the early 1970's.

How i love every song,the melody. It don't matter to me what they sang, its a hit with me... when ever i hear music like these from that era, i am hooked and lost in the '70's again and again,and guess what?..its no different here in JANUARY 2008.

ARE you from that time period or even before? then i know you understand what i mean... even kids and or children from parents like us, they too, totally enjoy music from that era, and express their thanks and appreciation, for the introduction to this type of music, from the 1960's and 1970's.

Yes, few people i meet (including young ones now on the world scene) LOVE - MUSIC, and show
by playing it today the reason?.....lyrics were really meaningful, for relationships, and the commentaries about life is even more meaningful with what is taking place in todays world,
when they look around today, all that was said in songs back then, is literally being fulfill today
in this 21st century.

Lets be glad for the music back then, and be sure to continue appreciating it today, and may be
FOREVER... just maybe...

THANKS TO... all the artist and song-wrighters and musicians for that great period in MUSIC..
....LET THE MUSIC PLAY.
