| Some folks think I’m greedy
|
| And I just take from you
|
| And if I say it’s true now
|
| What good would that do
|
| And if I wanted to be funny
|
| I could say that all the money
|
| That you spent on me was just from fraud
|
| And if I wanted to be bitter
|
| I could say that little by little
|
| All you did for me was no good
|
| I didn’t lose your money
|
| I didn’t lose your money
|
| Oh no your money just lost…
|
| You brought me up this way
|
| When just a little bit of love
|
| Could have changed my ways
|
| Some folks help the needy
|
| Me I just help myself
|
| And if I shared with you now
|
| It would steadily decrease my wealth
|
| And if I saw you on the streets
|
| With worn out shoes upon your feet
|
| I wouldn’t spare you the price of a cup of tea
|
| I know you brought me from the gutter
|
| Helped me earn my bread and butter
|
| But I have a lousy memory
|
| I didn’t lose your money
|
| Oh no, I didn’t lose your money
|
| I didn’t lose your money
|
| Oh no your money just lost…
|
| You brought me up this way
|
| When just a little bit of love
|
| Could have changed my ways
|
| When just a little bit
|
| And just a little bit
|
| And just a little bit
|
| And just a little bit
|
| And just a little bit of
|
| Love… love… love…
|
| Could have changed my ways |
