[Verse] When you have money oh life's a breeze Friends all around you on their knees Smiles and laughter oh so divine All that you want oh it's always mine [Verse 2] But try being broke oh watch and see How quickly folks turn who they used to be The world gets colder oh the truth's revealed No golden handshake no sweet deal [Chorus] When you got it they all want to be friends When you're down it feels like the end Money makes the world go round they say Without it watch them walk away [Bridge] Empty pockets oh lonely nights Where did those buddies go when it was bright It's a lesson hard and true Money changes who sticks with you [Verse 3] Silver and gold oh they have their shine But without a dollar hearts decline Try being broke oh see who stays Learn the truth in the hardest ways [Chorus] When you got it they all want to be friends When you're down it feels like the end Money makes the world go round they say Without it watch them walk away
