A letra:
Money
talks
But it don't sing and dance and it don't walk
And long as
I can have you here with me
I'd much rather be forever in blue
jeans
Honey's sweet
But it ain't nothin'
next to baby's treat
And if you'd pardon me, I'd like to say
We'd
do okay forever in blue jeans
Maybe tonight
Maybe tonight, by the
fire
All alone, you and I
Nothing around but the sound
Of my
heart and your sighs
Money talks
But it can't sing and
dance and it can't walk
And long as I can have you here with
me
I'd much rather be forever in blue jeans, babe
And honey's sweet
But it ain't
nothin' next to baby's treat
And if you'll pardon me, I'd like to
say
We'd do okay, forever in blue jeans
Maybe tonight
Maybe tonight, by the
fire
All alone, you and I
Nothing around but the sound
Of my
heart and your sighs
Money talks
But it don't sing and
dance and it don't walk
And long as I can have you here with
me
I'd much rather be forever in blue jeans
And if you'd pardon me, I'd like to
say
We'd do okay forever in blue jeans, babe
And long as I can have you here with
me
I'd much rather be forever in blue jeans, babe
