"Money (Thats What I Want)" by Barrett Strong

In 1960, John Lee Hooker recorded "I Need Some Money", a song he may have been performing live for some time. The lyrics are more than coincidentally similar to "Money (That's What I Want)". For example, the first verses are "The best thing in life are free/But you can give it to the birds an' bees/ I need some money/ Need some money/ Oh yeah, what I want" versus "The best things in life are free/But you can keep 'em for the birds and bees/ Now give me money, (that's what I want) that's what I want". The music is, however, different.

"The best things in life are for free"
Janet:
Boy, when you look at me, boy
Do you judge me by my cover?
Ya got to be kiddin' me,
To think that I'm that kind of lover
I don't mean to disagree
Sorry you can't buy my kisses
Open your heart and see
True love comes for free
Luther:
I'm keepin' my heart open
Hopin' you won't stab me in it
'Cause I've been in love before,
And when i had to pay I didn't
I'll lose my sanity
Tryin' to measure your intentions
What do you want from me How much will it be?
Janet:
No more than you're willing to give 'cause
you won't pay nothin' for this good lovin'
It's for free
Luther:
And I won't make you promises
I'll just do all that I can to be your lover
'Cause I understand
Chorus:
The best things in life are free
Now that I've discovered what you mean to me
The best things in life are free
Now that we've got each other
The best things in life are free
Luther:
I know you are my baby
My one and only baby
You said it twice
I'll say it thrice
My baby baby baby
Janet:
I got so much love for you
And it's easy to give it
When I know you feel the same way too
Luther:
That's all I expect from you
Just do all that you can to be my lover
'cause I understand (I do)
Repeat Chorus
Janet:
No more than you're willing to give 'cause
you won't pay nothin' for this good lovin'
It's for free
Luther:
And I won't make you promises
You see I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be,
We're gonna be, I'm gonna be
The very best I can
To be your lover 'cause I understand
Repeat Chorus
