Money Cannot Make The Man

So long I`ve been trying to give you the things that you`ve wanted

But your thirst for riches is more than my pockets can stand

And I know that you`re dreaming of things you could have with another

Cause to your way of thinking the money is what makes the man

You like to be seen in the richest and finest of places

You`re always emarrassed by the callouses here on my hands

And I know that it`s only a matter of time till you leave me

Cause to your way of thinking the money is what makes the man

You may find a rich man to give you the things that you long for

But if you`re still lonely then darling you may understand

That with all of his gold he can`t give you the love that I gave you

For a man can make money but money cannot make the man

[ guitar ]

You may find a rich man...

A man can make money but money cannot make the man
