[English]

That's M O N E Y, so sexy, I-

Damn, I love the Jag, the jet and the mansion

Oh yeah

And I enjoy the gifts and trips to the islands

Oh yeah

It's good to live expensive you know it

But my knees get weak, intensive

When you give me k-kisses

That's money, honey

When I'm your lover and your mistress

That's money, honey

When you touch me it's so delicious

That's money, honey

Baby, when you tear me to pieces

That's money, honey

That's M O N E Y, so sexy, I- (That's money, honey)

Damn, I'd love a boat by the beach on the west coast

Oh yeah

And I'd enjoy some fine champagne while my girls toast

Oh yeah

It's good to live expensive you know it

But my knees get weak, intensive

When you give me k-kisses

That's money, honey

When I'm your lover and your mistress

That's money, honey

When you touch me it's so delicious

That's money, honey

Baby, when you tear me to pieces

That's money, honey

You know I appreciate the finer things

But it's not what makes me happiest, baby

(I can do without it, babe)

Your tender loving's more than I can handle

Never burn out this candle, baby, baby

K-k-k-k-kisses

That's money, honey

When I'm your lover and your mistress

That's money, honey

When you touch me it's so delicious

That's money, honey

Baby, when you tear me to pieces

That's money, honey

When you give me k-kisses

That's money, honey

When I'm your lover and your mistress

That's money, honey

When you touch me it's so delicious

That's money, honey

Baby, when you tear me to pieces

That's money, honey

When you give me k-kisses

That's money, honey

When I'm your lover and your mistress

That's money, honey

When you touch me it's so delicious

That's money, honey

Baby, when you tear me to pieces

That's money, honey

That's M O N E Y, so sexy, I-
