Payday's coming and we wash it away

Clean moneyclean money

Payday's coming and we wash it away

Clean moneyclean money

That's what I want to do

I want to spend it on you



Checking on a checkmate

Grassing on a classmate

So beautiful and fortunate

He hates to loveyou love to hate

He can fix you for good

'cause he is the neighborhood

You can't get money for blood

Blood money for doin' no good

But they won't take my love for tender



Payday's coming and we wash it away

Clean moneyclean money

Payday's coming and we wash it away

Clean moneyclean money

That's what I want to do

I want to spend it on you



Have you made your selection ? 

Are you ready for correction ? 

'cause the wages of sin

Are an expensive infection

And it's under the counter

Under the geiger counter

Who stole your thunder ? 

But they won't take my love for tender
