Oh it takes a lot of money to treat my little honey like I want to
   Yes it takes a lot of money to treat my little honey like I want to
   I'd have to be a movie star and drive a big big Cadillac car
   And have a pocketful of money to treat my little honey like I want to
  
   Oh I'm so in love with you honey but I think your count sure runs thin
   And everytime I get a little money the prices get out again
   Oh it takes a lot of money...
   [ guitar - steel - dobro ]
   Oh these worn out clothes I'm wearin' they sure are an awful sight
   If it wasn't for these bills I'm payin' I'd be with you every night
   Oh it takes a lot of money...
   Yes it takes a lot of money to treat my little honey like I want to
