I Use To Have Money One Time
I use to have money one time
By: jimmy buffett, michael utley
1983
For harrison and hunter
I had cadillacs in my future
Debutantes in my past
I made a deal with the devil for a whole lotta money
Thinkin it would last and last
But a fool and his money are bound to part
And what goes up must come down
Take my advice dont trust the roll of the dice
Keep your feet on solid ground
Chorus:
I used to have money one time
Life of adventure and crime
I used to have money one time
Lots of women and wine
But whos gonna tell a fool? whos gonna tell a fool?
Whos gonna tell a fool? that he aint cool (he aint cool!)
Now thems were hard times back in the eighties boy
People barely had enough to get by
Oh not me foot loose and fancy free
There was nothin to myself Id deny
But fellas listen to my story now
Though you have heard this tale before
Take care of your needs and watch out for you greeds
Or that wolf will be at your door
Chorus:
I used to have money one time
Life of adventure and crime
I used to have money one time
Now I aint got a dime
But whos gonna be the fool? whos gonna be the fool?
Whos gonna be the fool? still aint cool (it aint cool)
Whos gonna tell a fool? whos gonna tell a fool?
Whos gonna tell a fool? still aint cool (it aint cool)
(jimmy used to have money one time)
(bubba used to have money one time)
(jimmy used to have money one time)
(bubba used to have money one time)
(jimmy used to have money one time)

I Used To Have Money One Time
I had Cadillac's in my future

And what goes up must come down
So take my advice, don't trust the roll of the dice
Keep your feet on solid ground
I used to have money one time
Life of adventure and crime

Money To Burn
(coverdale/hardin/fenwick)
Well the world just keeps on turning
And people keep on learning
Its crazy to be earning
All the money that youre burning
But if you fool yourself
An think youre really strong
Someone gonna see you
Show you that youre wrong..
Cos you cant take it with you
If you got money to burn
Someone gonna get you
If youve got money to burn...
Riding in your roller
Oh, think youre pretty cool
But the big mans got your number
And hes just playing you for a fool
Cant take it with you
Your money to burn
Im gonna give you
For your money to burn
Dont wanna be learn
When Im going down
When Im getting .. for it
I aint hanging round
For aint no dollar
Aint gonna turn
But I dont want money,
Aint want no money
Money to burn
Money to burn
Money, money...

Love You Like I Did
Tell me whos gonna look at you
And love you for the person you are
Tell me whos gonna understand
That sometimes you can take things too far
Tell me whos gonna be there when
Times are good and when they are bad
Tell me whos gonna love you girl
The way I loved you
Tell me whos gonna be right there
To wipe your tears whenever you cry
Tell me whos gonna talk it out
To make sure everything is alright
Tell me whos gonna call you on the telephone
When youre all alone
Tell me whos gonna love you girl
[chorus:]
Aint nobody gonna do the things I did
Aint nobody gonna kiss the way I kiss
Aint nobody gonna spend the way I spend
Aint nobody gonna love you like I did
Aint nobody gonna be the fool for you
Aint nobody gonna open the doors for you
Aint nobody going through what I went through
Aint nobody gonna love you
Love you like I did...
Anytime you needed a friend
Girl I was right there for you
Anytime you needed love
You could call on me for that too
There is nothing, nothing that I wouldnt do for you
Tell me whos gonna love you girl
The way I loved you
Everything you always wanted
Girl you know I gave it to you
Never had to worry cuz you knew

And you may find, another man
But cant nobody love you

[chorus]
How could you do it?
Baby, how could you (you did me wrong)
Treat me the way you did (you broke my heart)
And how could you leave me?
When you know I did (leave me by myself)
I did everything for you (girl, I did everything for you)
And youll never find another man to love you the way that I did
Girl nobody... nobody...
Will love you just like me...

Big Fat Money
Some say money is bad for the soul
Bad for the rock, bad for the roll
Bad for the heart, bad for the brain
Bad for damn near everything, oh yeah
It must be good for something
Come on pay the rent
Telephone, telefax, telefunkin teletrash
Tell a cop, tell a friend
Think weve hit the stoney end
Nothin left, nothin right
Now they want a bigger bite
Everybody wants some
Everybody wants some big money, oh yeah
They want big fat money
Thats what I want
Big fat money
Too much temptation
Enough to kill a generation
Space station, starvation, premature ejaculation
This aint groovin, this aint funky
Its on my back
But it aint my monkey, no
Oh yeah, gimme some of that big big money
Thats what I want
Big fat money
Big fat money
Smoke this, eat that
My ol ladys gettin fat
High rise, high rent
Before its earned, its all been spent
Wheres it gonna come from?
Whos it gonna go to?
Aint beatin, but Im being eatin by money, oh yeah
Big big money, gimme, gimme, gimme
Some of that big money, alright
Thats want I want
Well alright, oh, big big money
Now gimme, gimme, gimme
Some of that big money
Thats what I want
Thats all I need
Gimme big fat money
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme some of that big fat money

Aint Got No Money
Well Im looking for a woman
About five foot six
Who aint into glamour
Shes just into kicks
Just a sweet fashion lady
Stepping dynamite
Whos gonna take me for granted
In the heat of the night
Come on baby
Dont run away
Look here in my face
Be it night or day
I aint got no money
But I sure got a whole lotta love
Well Im walking down the street
And my hearts feeling heavy
Swaying with the beat
cause Im more than just ready
Shes looking at me
I can feel it in my bones
Step right on up
And Ill be taking you home
Dont turn away
Look here in my face
Be it night or day
I aint got no money
But I sure got a whole lot of love
A whole lot of love
Well Im looking for a woman
Whos looking for a man
Whos looking for a time
Like she aint ever had
Just a sweet fashion lady
Stepping dynamite
Whos gonna take me for granted
In the heat of the night
Come on baby dont run away
Look here in my face
Be it night or day
I aint got no money
But I sure got a whole lotta love

Only Foolin
Writers: alan tarney & leo sayer
When were round at a friends house
You act so precious and cool
Tell her Im nothin special at all
Just somebody whos passin through
Just sombody whos passin through
And here I am tryin to tell you again
But you just dont understand
That we could be somethin special I know
If youd only let go -- take a chance
Just try it once -- take a chance
But were only -- were only foolin
You know that we are -- were only foolin
Tell me what are you gonna do
About a fool whos in love with you
What are you gonna do
When we go out on a saturday night
Feel like Im stringin along
I ask you where are we going from here
You know but youre not lettin on babe
Well you know but youre not lettin on
So here we are at the crossroads
Between better or worse
You tellin me Im too serious babe
And one of use is gonna get hurt
Why do I always get hurt
But were only -- were only foolin
You know that we are -- were only foolin
Tell me what are you gonna do
About a fool whos in love with you
What are you gonna do

No More
No more
No more
I aint gonna do it no more
It used to be a big deal
But, I aint gonna do it
If it aint real
Big money
Big plans
You stand with a ticket in your hand
You dont play you cant win
But, I aint gonna do it
til I feel it again
When I see that sun go down
My mind begins to clear
Sure was a hard time
It sure was a hard time my dear
No more
No more
I aint gonna do it no more
It used to be a big deal
But, I aint gonna do it
If it aint real
No, I aint gonna do it

Letter To A John
don't ask me why I'm crying
I'm not going to tell you what's wrong
I'm just gonna sit on your lap
for five dollars a song
I want you to pay me for my beauty
I think it's only right
'cause I have been paying for it
all of my life
I'm gonna take the money I make
I'm gonna take the money I make
I'm gonna take the money I make
and I'm gonna go away...
we barely have time to react in this world
let alone rehearse
and I don't think I'm better than you
but I don't think that I'm worse
women learn to be women
and men learn to be men
and I don't blame it all on you
but I don't want to be your friend
I'm gonna take the money I make
I'm gonna take the money I make
I'm gonna take the money I make
and I'm gonna go away...
I was eleven years old
he was as old as my dad
and he took something from me
I didn't even know that I had
so don't tell me about decency
don't tell me about pride
just give me something for my trouble
'cause this time

Cant Take That Away
(johnny van zant, robert johnson, michael lunn)
What can they all be thinkin
Wanna take the cross off of the hill
Put away the pledge of allegience
Lord,just the thought gives me a chill
They can take God off our money but, in the end o aint it funny
How were all gonna see him on the judgement day
So sing it loud
(chorus)
One more time
Hear what you say
When you got the truth inside, now they cant take that away
One more time
cause it aint too late
Hold on to what you believe cause thay cant take that
They cant take that away
They want to change somethin somewhere for everybody
Right now a change aint what we need
Just like my fathers father before him
They held on with pride to everything they believed
They can take God off our money but, in the end o aint it funny
How were all gonna see him on the judgement day
(repeat chorus)
Theres a fire that burns forever
Come a day we aint gonna take no more

Money & Fame
Music :matthias jabs
Lyrics:matthias jabs, herman rarebell
You know nothing about loving
You lost somewhere down the line
You know nothing about giving
You should draw the line
You keep looking out for something
Something youre never gonna find
When will, will you show your feelings
You will lose your mind
Whos to blame my love
You play a dangerous game
Whos to blame my love
All you want is money and fame
You play, play with emotions
You need, need a stepping stone
Youre out, out for sensations
Dont you, dont you feel alone
Whos to blame my love
You play a dangerous game
Whos to blame my love
All you want is money and fame
Whos to blame my love
You play a dangerous game
Whos to blame my love
All you want is money and fame
Money and fame
Money and fame
Money and fame
Money and fame
Money and fame
Money and fame
Money and fame

Minstrel Boy
Whos gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Whos gonna let it roll?
Whos gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Whos gonna let it down easy to save his soul?
Oh, luckys been drivin a long, long time
And now hes stuck on top of the hill.
With twelve forward gears, its been a long hard climb,
And with all of them ladies, though, hes lonely still.
Whos gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Whos gonna let it roll?
Whos gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Whos gonna let it down easy to save his soul?
Well, he deep in number and heavy in toil,
Mighty mockingbird, he still has such a heavy load.
Beneath his boundries, what more can I tell,
With all of his travlin, but Im still on that road.
Whos gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Whos gonna let it roll?

Whos gonna let it down easy to save his soul?

Id Rather Be Rich
Id rather be rich, it sounds a little funny;
If diggin a ditch would earn me lots of money,
Id dig like a fool in the land of milk and honey;
Where everythings cool, provided you have money, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Id rather be rich, just short of being greedy;
Im eager to switch, to hell with being needy.
Id rather be rich, the truth of cash is tragic,
The systems a bitch, but money works like magic, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Money makes the world go round;
Buy and sell it by the pound;
Bitter truth that I have found:
Food to eat, shoes on your feet,
Maybe some heat, you live with defeat.
Bridge:
Money gets you justice, money sets you free,
Money makes it possible to be or not to be.
Money is the power, money is the key,
Sad and so unfortunate, but real as it can be, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Id rather be rich, than what the other choice is;
My thumb out to hitch, or riding in rolls royces;
cause I aint no fool in the land of milk and honey;
Where everythings cool until you lose your money.

Heroes, hard to find
Dont make the news till they do time

Lay down the law black of the night
Run up a score, the vice is right
Dealers looking round, wheel is turning round
Coming round on you

Some sin for gold
Some sin for shame
Some sin for cash
Some sin for gain
Some sin for wine
Some sin for pain

He was born way before his time
Lead em down below
You got it right and away you go
You gotta lay down the rules, push up the price
Turn on the heat, put you on ice
