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
