If you won't find a job she said
Don't come 'round here no more
If you can't pay the rent
What would I need you for?
And here's one more thing
Don't tell me you've got a plan
'Cause I've heard it all
And I'm done playin' ball
I swear I'll find myself another man

And I tell her: Patience is the name of the game
When things don't go our way
We ought to understand
That make it
Or break it
Together, we can always take it

But she didn't bat an eye

Listen
I don't mind you makin' music
I don't mind you playin' Soul
You can do what you want to do
As long as you’re makin' dough

Love is a force so strong
As long as we've got love
We will carry on
Through better days
Or worse
'Til we're taken away in a hearse

You can be a stage magician
A snake charmer, I don't know
What you choose to be
Makes no difference to me
As long as you're makin' dough

You can be out playing country
Hip-hop or rock n' roll
You can do whatever you want to do
As long as you're makin' dough

Just as long as you're makin' dough
Just as long as you're makin' dough
As long as you're makin' dough
Just as long as you're makin' dough
