How does this work?
Caution: You are now annotating this song as
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

[Hook]
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

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

[Hook x2]

About Money Maker

Differing from the band’s lyrics-first approach on Brothers, the lyrics for El Camino were written after the music, often being improvised at the microphone. Auerbach said, “the words had to fit in this pre-existing space. It was really confining and totally different from anything I’d done before.” The band focused on the vocal melodies more so than the lyrics[15]—Auerbach admitted that lyrically, “None of these songs really have any meaning” (though this song appears to be about a stripper).
