When I was a little girl I used to think I was wrong for wanting diamonds and pearls I never had anything no Chanel or Tiffany like all the popular girls They say the best things are free but I don't get what they mean 'Cause I want everything And money doesn't grow on trees You can't just plant a seed You gotta work it out Gimme some of that cold cash I want to stuff it in my couch C'mon bring me those big stacks I need them bricks to build my house Give me all of that, all of that til the ATM runs out If money can't buy happiness then why is it so fabulous? When I was only 15, I packed by bags and said Goodbye to mom and dad I was afraid and alone, living without a home Got rid of all I had They say the best things are free but I can't get what I need Without some currency And money doesn't grow on trees You can't just plant a seed You gotta work it out Gimme some of that cold cash I want to stuff it in my couch Come on bring me those big stacks I need them bricks to build my house Give me all of that, all of that til the ATM runs out If money can't buy happiness then why is it so fabulous? Make that money Make my own money Gonna make that money Make my own money Make that money Make my own money If money can't buy happiness then why is it so fabulous? Gimme some of that cold cash I want to stuff it in my couch Come on bring me those big stacks I need them bricks to build my house Give me all of that, all of that til the ATM runs out If money can't buy happiness then why is it so fabulous?
