Money Talk
Unveiling the Language of Wealth: "Money Talk" by Pretenders
Lyrics
I'll come in your car to talk business,
I will join you in your car for a business discussion.
No business, no money talk.
Without engaging in business, there won't be any discussion about money.
Zero in on my full of intentions,
Focusing on my clear intentions.
I think you got it because you pulled up and stopped.
It seems you understood my intentions as you stopped your car.
If money is the root of all evil,
If money is the source of wrongdoing,
I'm begging at the feet of the devil.
I'm desperate and willing to compromise for financial gain.
Talk to me please,
Requesting communication.
Money talk to me.
Desiring a conversation with money itself.
Twenty gets you straight,
A sum of twenty (currency) is sufficient for a direct transaction.
Forty gets you other,
Forty (currency) can lead to additional benefits.
Think of what a hundred could do.
Contemplating the potential impact of a hundred (currency).
I've been gifted with the thing that you want,
I possess something desirable.
Who's better than who?
Comparing superiority or worthiness.
Never underestimate a woman like me,
Advocating not underestimating a woman like the speaker.
The kids have got to eat,
Emphasizing the necessity to provide for the children.
And man, that's reality, you see.
Highlighting the harsh reality of needing money to survive.
Money talk to me.
Reiterating the desire for a financial dialogue.
You're so deluded,
Expressing a belief that the listener is misled.
You think that I'm real.
Perceiving the listener's view of the speaker as genuine.
You pass your hormones off as love,
Accusing the listener of mistaking hormonal feelings for love.
For five minutes you feel.
Highlighting the short-lived nature of such feelings.
You can buy a squeegee little silicone sack,
Suggesting that material possessions, like silicone enhancements, are inadequate.
But it won't feed the world
Asserting that certain physical attributes don't address global hunger.
Like the ones that I pack naturally.
Contrasting the speaker's natural attributes that contribute more significantly.
Money talk to me.
Reiterating the desire for money to communicate.
