Money Lyrics
Money, money, is it really love?
Money, will it be love?
Oh, man, again, I swear
Money, money, I feel it killing love
Money, will it be love?
Oh, man, again, I swear
[Verse 1: Michael Kiwanuka]
I think I want everything
Everything all on my own
Can't you see my diamond ring?
Twenty thousand carat gold
Girl, I wanna talk to you
I can be your money tree
One hundred million, maybe three
More than I can ever see
[Chorus: Tom Misch]
Money, money, is it really love?
Money, will it be love?
Oh, man, again, I swear
Money, money, I feel it killing love
Money, will it be love?
Oh, man, again, I swear
I could buy an aeroplane
Fly you all around the world
I'm spending when I feel ashamed
Spending, 'cause I'm all alone
Girl, I wanna make you mine
Can't you give your heart to me?
I would give you every dime
You're more than I could ever dream (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
[Chorus: Tom Misch]
Money, money, is it really love?
Money, will it be love?
Oh, man, again, I swear
Money, money, I feel it killing love
Money, will it be love?
Oh, man, again, I swear
[Bridge: Tom Misch & YEBBA]
All money lies, there's no surprise with that
When money tries to ruin everything
Pain in disguise, money can't cover up the lies
I need true love tonight
All money lies, there's no surprise with that
When money tries to ruin everything
Pain in disguise, money can cause a man to cry
I need true love tonight
[Chorus: Tom Misch & Michael Kiwanuka]
Money, money, is it filled with love? (Oh Lord, money, yeah, money can't love)
Money, feel it, feel it come (Money takes, is this real, real love?)
By me, again, I swear
Money, money, is it filled with love? (Oh, money goes, money feels, money comes)
Money, feel it, feel it come (Money, money, money)
By me, again, I swear (Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)
Money, money, is it filled with love?
Money, feel it, feel it come
By me, again, I swear
About

The backing vocalist is Abbey Smith, better known as YEBBA, an American singer-songwriter who has got only one single, “Evergreen”, credited as a solo artist, at least for now.
She was noticed by Q-Tip at first: he invited her to sing on A Tribe Called Quest’s last album.
Then, in 2017, shortly after the release of “Evergreen”, her feature on “No Peace”, a song by the British singer Sam Smith, brought her to the attention of a wider public.
Since that moment, YEBBA has collaborated with several artists, and she’s gained primary features on tracks by Rudimental and Mark Ronson.
No, “Money” marks their first official collaboration!
