Ain't In It For The Money Lyrics - Micky & The Motorcars

Written by: Pinto Bennett 

She was hangin at the hard n fast saloon he was due to go on break real soon 

she set the trap and she laid out all the bait 

He had a room at the hungry heart motel he was a guitar picker so what the hell 

She knew he could hardly wait 

She gave him a look as he stepped off the stage 

Walked up to the bar took ahold of his hand 

She was sippin on a drink that some poor cowboy'd bought 

She told him he was better than Willie or Haggard 

She was only one payment behind on her jag 

Then she rolled her eyes and asked him what he thought 

And he said 

Money talks and bull shit walks and everything I own you could put in a box 

All my money ever said to me was so long 

All my bull shit ever did was get me walked on 

And left me for singin the same ol song 

Lovin her right 

And doin her wrong...Baby 

Chorus: 

Everybody wants to be somebody 

Everybody wants to have somebody...But please 

Listen to me honey 

Hey Im livin proof that love will kill ya 

And I aint the one thats gonna fulfill your needs 

I aint in it for the money 

Im not in it for the money 

Repeat Chorus
