lyrics
MONEY IN MY POCKET Dennis Brown
1
Money in my pocket but I just can't get no love
Money in my pocket but I just can't get no love
I'm praying for, a girl to be my own
2
Soon you said she coming but I don't believe a word she say
cause she run away and left me one rainy day
she made me have in mind, that her love would never die
and now I'm alone, so alone
so alone, yeah, yeah
3
Money in my pocket but I just can't get no love, oh no
Money in my pocket but I just can't get no love
The love I had in mind, was very, very hard to find, oh
it's hard for a man to live without, a woman, yeah
and a woman needs a man to cling to
you'll see what love can do, after making me feel blue
ain't that a shame, yeah, whoa baby
ain't that a shame, yeah, to make me feel blue, oo yeah
