Money
Craving More Than Love: The Pursuit of Wealth in John Lee Hooker's 'Money'
Lyrics
The best thing in life is free
The best things in life are free
You can give it to the birds an' bees
You can disregard or dismiss valuable things like love and nature
I need money, I need money
Expressing a strong desire for money
I need money, oh, yes that's what I want
Reiterating the need for money and emphasizing it as a want
Your love gimme such a thrill
Your love brings joy and excitement
But your love don't pay my bills
Despite the joy, love doesn't cover financial obligations
I need money, I need money
Repeating the strong desire for money
I need money, oh, yes that's what I want
Emphasizing the urgency and desire for money
Money don't get everything it's true
Money doesn't solve all problems or fulfill every need
What it don't get, I can't use
Highlighting the limitations of money in addressing certain needs
I need money, I need money
Expressing a continued strong desire for money
I need money, oh, yes that's what I want
Reiterating the urgency and desire for money
A whole lotta money, a whole lotta money
Stressing the desire for a substantial amount of money
Whole lotta money, oh, yes that's what I want
Repeating the strong desire for a significant sum of money
Money don't get everything it's true
Money has its limitations in providing complete fulfillment
What it don't get, I don't want
Expressing a lack of interest in what money cannot provide
I need money, I need money
Reiterating the strong desire and urgency for money
I need money, oh, that's what I want baby
Emphasizing the want for money as a primary desire
