Lyrics
Walked to my girl's place the other day,
Stopped and picked her a sweet bouquet.
When I got there, she was on her way
With her new boyfriend in his new Chevrolet.
Everybody's got more money than me
Everybody's got more money than me
Everybody's got more money than me
So I got me a car, the best that I could do
It was a lime green, two door Malibu
Drove it on over just to give her a view
She said "I'm not drivin' in no '72!"
Everybody's got more money than me
Everybody's got more money than me
Everybody's got more money than me
So I took my girl out for a little treat
It was a greasy spoon on a shady street
The waitress yelled before we took our seat
"If you ain't got the dough, then you don't get to eat!"
Everybody's got more money than me
Everybody's got more money than me
Everybody's got more money than me
So I took my girl down to the corner dance hall,
We were cuttin' a rug, we were wall to wall,
I was plying my baby with alcohol,
Til the booze ran out and she started to stall
She looked in my wallet and said "That's all?"
I looked in there too and started to bawl because
Everybody's got more money than me
Everybody's got more money than me
Everybody's got more money than me
Everybody's got more money than me
Everybody's got more money than me
That's the truth, that's all I got to say
You got to do what you can with the hand that you play
Don't worry 'bout me, I'll be OK
But if you got a little extra, you can throw it my way 'cuz
Everybody's got more money than me
Everybody's got more money than me
Everybody's got more money than me
Mo Money
Mo Money
Mo Money
Mo Money
Everybody's got more money than me
