Money Thing Lyrics

They're shutting off the phone
Cutting off the gas
I can't afford to heat
The water in my bath
I'm barely getting by
I'm hanging by a string
It's a money thing

I could sell my body
I could sell my sperm
I could sell my blood
With the money that I earn
I could buy my baby
A little plastic ring
It's a money thing

And I got none
It's a money thing
I gotta make some
Money

I stare into the windows
Of couple filled cafes
The men all act like winners because they all can pay
How can I compete with what they're offering
It's a money thing

And I got none
It's a money thing
And I got none
It's a money thing
I gotta get some
Money

I got a cheap date but she wasn't so cheap
I got a cheap date but she wasn't so cheap
I got a cheap date but she wasn't so cheap

Shit
It's so disheartening
The cash is always king
Happiness and love just don't mean anything
I'll never have enough
I'll never have enough
It's a money thing
And I got none
It's a money thing
And I got none
It's a money thing
I gotta make some
Money
I got a cheap date but she wasn't so cheap
It's a money thing
I got a cheap date but she wasn't so cheap
It's a money thing
I got a cheap date but she wasn't so cheap
Money

They're shutting off the phone 
Cutting off the gas 
I can't afford to heat 
The water in my bath 
I'm barely getting by 
I'm hanging by a string 
It's a money thing

I could sell my body 
I could sell my sperm 
I could sell my blood 
With the money that I earn 
I could buy my baby 
A little plastic ring 
It's a money thing

And I got none 
It's a money thing 
I gotta make some 
Money

I stare into the windows 
Of couple filled cafes 
The men all act like winners because they all can pay 
How can I compete with what they're offering 
It's a money thing

And I got none 
It's a money thing 
And I got none 
It's a money thing 
I gotta get some 
Money

I got a cheap date but she wasn't so cheap 
I got a cheap date but she wasn't so cheap 
I got a cheap date but she wasn't so cheap

Shit 
It's so disheartening 
The cash is always king 
Happiness and love just don't mean anything 
I'll never have enough 
I'll never have enough 
It's a money thing 
And I got none 
It's a money thing 
And I got none 
It's a money thing 
I gotta make some 
Money 
I got a cheap date but she wasn't so cheap 
It's a money thing 
I got a cheap date but she wasn't so cheap 
It's a money thing 
I got a cheap date but she wasn't so cheap 
Money

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

"It's tough to feel desirable when you're subsisting on plain spaghetti and cold coffee, and the contents of those envelopes from the utility companies are no longer bills, but cancellation notices. Whoever said love don't cost a thing was lying."

The narrator doesn't pay his taxes, so they shut the electricity and water down. However, he wants to offer his next girlfriend a ring. He looks jealous by seeing couples across a restaurant window. He doesn't have enough money ("I'll never have enough") to pay a prostitute ("Found a cheap date but she wasn't so cheap, shit"). In the end, the narrator understands that money is much more important than happiness and love.

This song caused controversy because Adam dared using the word "sperm" in one verse.
