| You may have diamonds |
| You may have pearls |
| You may think you got it baby |
| Over all the other girls |
| But honey you ain’t got nothing |
| And I’ll tell you why |
| If you’re empty as a soul can be, baby |
| Deep down inside |
| You better start savin' up |
| For the things that money can’t buy |
| You better start savin' up |
| For the things that money can’t buy |
| You better start savin' up |
| For the things that money can’t buy |
| You better start savin' up |
| For the things that money can’t buy |
| You may have a big backyard |
| And ruby rings |
| And my love’s just a second-place runner, honey |
| To your fancy things |
| But what you got to hold on to |
| When the lights go down |
| You come lookin' for me baby |
| But I ain’t nowhere around |
| You better start savin' up |
| For the things that money can’t buy |
| You better start savin' up |
| For the things that money can’t buy |
| You better start |
| You need a strong man, baby |
| To love and understand you |
| A man who ain’t afraid, sugar |
| To get some dirt on his hands for you |
| And when you’re feeling so down-hearted |
| And all you wanna do is cry |
| Ah, just come on, take my hand, baby |
| Together you and I |
| We could start savin' up |
| For the things that money can’t buy |
| We’d better start savin' up |
| For the things that money can’t buy |
| You better start savin' up |
| For the things that money can’t buy |
| You better start savin' up |
| For the things that money can’t buy |
