If trouble was money, I'd swear I'd be a millionaire If trouble was money, babe, I'd swear I'd be a millionaire For you I'd buy the whole world, woman, I'd buy the whole world and have money to spare, yeah

Let your hair down, baby, let's have a nat'ural ball Let your hair down, baby, let's have a nat'ural ball If you don't let your hair down, woman, we can't have no fun at all
Oh, and you can't take it wit' you, that's one thing for sure Oh, and you can't take it wit' you, that's one thing for sure

Come here baby, sit down on your daddy's knee Come here baby, sit down on your daddy's knee I've got somethin' pretty baby, somethin' that's ailin' me
I always live by the, golden rule Whatever happens, ha, don't blow your cool! You gotta have nerves of steel And never show folks how you, honestly feel
I lived all my life this way, ha For example, take yesterday:
I breeze home happy bringin' her my pay Her note read ...so long savvy, I haven't gone away! An' I threw myself down across our empty bed An' this is what I said:
Ooo shhhhiiiii ooow ooow ooow What? Oh what are you gonna do with me? Ooo wow uh But I was cool!
So I "one for the roaded" at a all night bar
I wound up so loaded, I tore up my car The judge threw the book at me, An' when I read, the sentence there, I said:
"Oow! Please oooow ooow, please I got to know, I got to know What? what went wrong? I don't underst... I oh a, But I was cool!
So I said she's the only one, that I have to pay And I found her an' pulled my gun, an' fired point blank The shot whistled right past that woman's head An' I killed my hound dog, dead!
Oooooow, ruff ruff, rrr, rrr, rrr, rur, rur, rur As they carried me away I was overheard to say, "Be cool, be cool, stay cool, be cool!"
Now what you gonna do, when the welfare turn it's back on you? Now what you gonna do-hoo-hoo-hoo, when the welfare turn it's back on you Now, you be standin' there stranded, there's ain't a thing that you can do
Now you look all through your house, yes, you can't, find a piece of bread Now you look all through your hou-hou-house, yeah, you can't find a piece of bread Sometime you begin to wonder, if you be better off, better off, dead
You go down to the welfare Give 'em one, two report Something they sellin' you Will surely get your goat
If you tell 'em you sick You better have a bad cough 'Cause if you don't They be ready to throw you off
What you gonna do, when the welfare turns it's back on you? You be standin' there stranded, There ain't a thing, there ain't a thing you There ain't a thing-hing-hing-hing-hing, that you can do
