The best things in life are free
But you can keep them for the birds and bees
Now give me money
(That's what I want)
That's what I want
(That's what I want)
That's what I want, yeah (that's what I want)
That's what I want

Your lovin' gives me a thrill
But your lovin' don't pay my bills
Now give me money
(That's what I want)
That's what I want
(That's what I want)
That's what I want, yeah (that's what I want)
That's what I want

Money don't get everything, it's true
What it don't get, I can't use
Now give me money
(That's what I want)
That's what I want
(That's what I want)
That's what I want, yeah (that's what I want)
That's what I want, whoa

Money don't get everything, it's true
What it don't get, I can't use
Now give me money
(That's what I want)
That's what I want
(That's what I want)
That's what I want, yeah (that's what I want)
That's what I want

Well, now give me money
(That's what I want)
A lot of money
(That's what I want)
Wow, yeah, I wanna be free
(That's what I want)
A lot of money
That's what I want
That's what I want, well
(That's what I want)
Well, now give me money
(That's what I want)
A lot of money
(That's what I want)
Wow, yeah, you need money
(That's what I want)
Now, give me money
(That's what I want)
That's what I want, yeah (that's what I want)
That's what I want

    I think you guys are talking about the Pretenders' cover of this song because they have a female vocalist (Chrissie Hynde) and they formed in the late seventies. Also, the song was written by Janie Bradford and Berry Gordy and sung by Barrett Strong. I like the Beatle version best.
