But inflation is rising
Everybody wants a little happiness
But we all got to pay a price

Cash in the hand is all they want
Cash in the hand is all they need
That's how it is today
Cash in the hand is all I want
Cash in the hand is all I need
It helps me through the day

I just can't get enough, when will I get enough
It makes me feel so rough, oh it makes me feel so rough
When I can't get enough, when will I get enough
Oh, it seems so tough

Nobody really wants to know me, I'm not happy enough for them
Nobody really wants to help me, they can only help themselves

Cash in the hand is all they want
Cash in the hand is all they need
That's how it is today
Cash in the hand is all I want
Cash in the hand is all I need
It helps me through the day

I just can't get enough, when will I get enough
It makes me feel so rough, oh it makes me feel so rough
When I can't get enough, when will I get enough
Oh, it seems so tough

Cash in me pocket, see me big 'bout cha
Cash in me pocket, see me big 'bout cha
Brand new car, see me big 'bout cha
Brand new car, see me big 'bout cha
Herb in me pocket, see me big 'bout cha
Passport's full, see me big 'bout cha
Man on my arm, see me big 'bout cha
Beauty treatment, see me big 'bout cha

I just can't get enough, when will I get enough
It makes me feel so rough, oh it makes me feel so rough
When I can't get enough, when will I get enough
Oh, it seems so tough
