She was coming to town on a whirlwind tour and my baby just had to go
So I stood in line for sixteen hours for a ninety-minute show
I spent eighty-seven dollars for nosebleed tickets and another twenty on a beer
It kinda looked like Madonna, but a whole lot smaller, I couldn't really tell from there

And I want my money, I want my money back 
(Gimme my money back)
Well, I know it's gone, I should move on but that don't change the fact (gimme my money back)
It just ain't right, no way, nobody oughta do somebody like that
So where's my money? I want my money back

Spent four long years filling up my head with a higher education
Well, they promised me the skills I need to improve my situation
Forty-five grand bought a long back gown and a tassle on my hat
And now I'm qualified to supersize and say: "Do you want fries with that?"

And I want my money, I want my money back
(Gimme my money back)
Well, I know it's gone, I should move on but that don't change the fact (gimme my money back)
It just ain't right, no way, nobody oughta do somebody like that
So where's my money? I want my money back

I know I'm only dreaming, yeah
I'm never gonna see it again
But it doesn't hurt to ask

It just ain't right, no way, nobody oughta do somebody like that
And I want my money, where's my money?
Find that money, 'cause I need my money
Gimme my money, I want my money back

Gimme my money back
Gimme my money back
I want my money back
Gimme my money back
