Money Maker Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, she wants milk and honey
Oh, she wants filthy money
But oh, that's not the way it goes
I wanna buy some time but don't have a dime

[Chorus]
Hey my my she's a money maker
Hey my my she's gonna take ya
Way down down she's bound to break ya
Hey now she's a money maker

[Verse 2]
Oh, she just keeps me guessing
Oh, never tells me yes and
Oh ooh, I just can't let go
And nothing that I show will ever do for you

[Chorus]
Hey my my she's a money maker
Hey my my she's gonna take ya
Way down down she's bound to break ya
Hey now she's a money maker

[Chorus]
Hey my my she's a money maker
Hey my my she's gonna take ya
Way down down she's bound to break ya
Hey now she's a money maker

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

This song seems to be about the so called ‘gold diggers’.

The guy wants to give her more than that as we see in “I wanna buy some time but don’t have a dime” and “And nothing that I show will ever do for you”, but the female only wants his money, and that’s the thing bothering this person.

As the song shows, this type of person cannot be trusted. “Way down down she’s bound to break ya”.
