You don't have to worry
You don't have to hide
You don't have to play the part of living like a saint
There's no need to try
You don't need the face on
The make-up and all
You don't have to slum it with the people in the street
You don't have to crawl

It doesn't matter how you try to dress it up
You're a solitary man
That's all you'll ever be, with all the friends you buy
And all the punch you got don't change a single thing
You'll never understand

It's shining in your face
It's dripping from your hand
Money don't lie
Money don't lie
Money don't stab you in the back and say I love you baby
Money don't try
Money don't lie

You came up the hard way
You had to get wise
You didn't find it easy living cold out in the streets
You had to survive
You got with the action
And learned all the names
And then you paid off all the people who deliver
The keys to the game

It doesn't matter how you try to dress it up
You're a solitary man
That's all you'll ever be, with all the friends you buy
And all the punch you got don't change a single thing
You'll never understand

It's shining in your face
It's dripping from your hand
Money don't lie
Money don't lie
Money don't stab you in the back and say I love you baby
Money don't try
Money don't lie
Money don't lie
Money don't lie
Money don't lie
Money don't lie
Money don't lie
Money don't lie
Money don't put a dagger in your heart and say I love you baby
Money don't try
Money don't lie
Money don't lie
Money don't stab you in the back and say I love you baby
Money don't try
Money don't lie
Money don't lie
Money don't lie
