I've lost you cause I can't afford your love And money that's what he's always had more of He's buying you how it's costing me I thought the best things of life are always free But money talks oh yes money talks Even louder than a little golden band Money talks oh yes how money talks And it's the only language you'll ever understand [ guitar - steel ] Well how many kisses does a dollar buy Your promises they must be twice as high Someday you'll try to buy a love that's true And when your money's gone your love will be gone too Cause money talks oh yes money talks...
