"When the Money Runs Out" by Leo Sayer

Writers: Leo Sayer & Ray Parker, Jr.

when the money runs out 
what will we do? 
turn around and start anew 
takes all your lovin' babe 
to pull me through 
without your love what would I do? 

'cos I'd put you and me babe 
up against the world 
there ain't nobody else 
like you 'n' me, girl 
who wants the money 
and the luxary 
when love 'n' happiness 
is all you need? 

can't you see all you're living for 
is dollars and cents 
it don't make no sense 
and all you think about 
in the final end 
is spend, spend, spend 

so when the money runs out 
we'll fly away 
quit the city life 'n' find a hideaway 
live in the country, babe 
off the fat of the land 
with nothin' to worry 'bout 
no money in the bank 

who needs the money 
what does it mean? 
another roll of paper, babe, in a sea of green 
to live life for money 
you gotta be mad 
when I watch you turn it up 
you know I feel so sad 

so when the money runs out 
what will you do? 
turn to me, babe, 'n' I'll pull you through 
we'll give back the diamonds 
'n' we'll sell the car 
we'll live the simple life 
and make a brand new start yeah 

'cos Id put you 'n' me babe 
up against the world 
there ain't nobody else 
like you 'n' me, girl 
take away the money, babe 
look at what we go 
warm love 'n' happiness 
we got the lot
