Woohoowoohoo woo wooh who
Woohoowoohoo woo wooh who
One night in New Orleans I met a painted lady
She swore that she knew just how to save me
She said it wouldn't take long just to do you a minute
Believe me boy you won't soon forget it
But I was too dead and I told her no
She grabbed my hand and she wouldn't let go
She said listen here boy we ain't that different you and me
And it's human nature been that way since Cain and Able
If there's bread in your pocket it don't matter how you got it
As long as there's food on the table.
Yeah and sooner or latter your gonna figure it out honey
If you ain't in it for love your in it for the money
Ah your in it for the money
I met and old-timer behind Tootsies Lounge
In the shadow of the Ryman as the sun when down.
He said they'll steal your soul in a radio song
They say you want fame but it won't last long
He said you'll be tempted but you better say no
He grabbed my hand and he wouldn't let go
He said cowboy we ain't that different you and me
Yeah it's human nature been that way since Hank and Waylon
You put fame in your pocket but as soon as you got it your star is already fadin'
Yeah and sooner or latter this old town sure seems funny
And you ain't in it for love your in it for the money
For the money
Everybody's temped
Well everybody's temped
Well have you been temped
Yeah yeah yeah
And it's human nature been that way since Cain and Able
If there's bread in your pocket it don't matter how you got it
As long as there's food on the table.
Yeah and sooner or latter you better ask yourself honey
Do you do what you do for love
Do you do what you do for love
And if you ain't in it for love
Then your in it for the money
It's all about the money
