she lives a high life in the city
never a time in her life she had a 9-5
she has a penthouse in Manhattan
she''s close to the sky so at times she believes she can fly
with all of her money
hurts to know the truth
and she don''t understand she can''t buy her way to heaven
but what is it worth when you''re living in the city?
your heads to the sky, but there''s some things money can''t buy

money can''t buy babe,
money can''t buy babe,
money can''t buy babe, yeah

she travels overseas on vacation
but still she believes there''s no place like US of A
she''s into alot of towns full of actions
shes quick to announce that there''s no fun like New York City
with all of her money
it hurts to know the truth
she don''t understand she can''t buy her way to heaven
but what is it worth, when you''re living in the city?
your heads to the sky
but there''s some things money can''t buy

money can''t buy babe,
ohhh money can''t buy babe,
yeah, money can''t, buy baby,
money can''t buy, yeah
money can''t buy
yeah, money can''t buy
money can''t buy, ohhh

her heart is so uneasy
not what she wants to see
she wants more understanding
of where she needs to be, yeah

money can''t buy
money can''t buy
ohhh, baby, money can''t buy
money can''t buy
money can''t buy baby...
