Lyrics

Down on the corner, walkin' the streets
She smiles for ev'ryone she meets
He's not a man, no, he's just another trick
She'd do it all just to get that fix
Did you do it for love?
Did you do it in the name of love?
No, it ain't love she's gonna find
She's got just one thing on her mind:

Money. she did, she did it for the money
All in the name of money
All for the dirty green

Cold in the city with the traffic slow
He's got nobody, no place to call home
Takin' hard earned money from a poor, helpless soul
Didn't do it for love
Didn't do it in the name of love
No, it ain't love he's out to find
He's got just one thing on his mind:

Money. he did, he did it for the money
All in the name of money
All for the dirty green

[Bridge]
And the young girl, she gets down on her knees, she's there to please
She wants her money
And then the young man says, "now, put your hands in the air
Give me what I want, give me what I need. now don't you see?
All I want, all I want, all I want is your money, yeah. give it to me!"

He's got the money, left the scene of the crime
Not a clue would he leave behind
One's bad misfortune make for another's eats
And now the young girl's trick's his treat

Money. he did, he did it for the money
All in the name of money
All for the dirty green
For the money. he did it, did it for the money
All in the name of money
All for the dirty green
