If money is the root of all evil 

I'd like to be a bad, bad man 

'Cause I'm sittin' here 

With nothing but time 

trying to make you understand 



My love for you is as good as gold 

But I ain't got but one dime 

If I could just get out of this soul 

Baby we could have a good time 



Man said time was on my side 

He never knew me that well 

'Cause I've got plenty of time on my hands 

Time ain't easy to sell 



If I could just get a little bit ahead 

Think of the things we could do 

I'd take your tiny little hand in mine 

Spend a lot of money on you 



But time ain't money 

You know it's a shame 

Time ain't money 

Unfortune thang 

Time ain't money 

You know it's a bitch 

If time was money 

I'd already be rich 



Suppose to be a check at the union 

If only I could pick it up 

I got hit with some bad family shit 

It looks like I'm out of luck 



I could be a very rich man 

baby you know that its true 

If I had a dime for every minute of time 

I spend thinking of you 



But time ain't money 

You know it's a shame 

Time ain't money 

Unfortune thang 

Time ain't money 

You know it's a bitch 

If time was money 

I'd already be rich 



If money is the root of all evil 

I'd like to be a bed ridden man 

'Cause I'm sittin' here 

With nothing but time 

trying to make you understand 



My love for you is as good as gold 

But I ain't got but one dime 

If I could just get out of this soul 

Baby we could have a good time 



But time ain't money 

You know it's a shame 

Time ain't money 

Unfortune thang 

Time ain't money 

You know it's a bitch 

If time was money 

I'd already be rich
