If It Wasn't for the Money

If it wasn’t for the money
I’d be on the train already
If it wasn’t for your lovin'
I’d be out there on the street
And if I took my chances
I’m sure I could keep it steady
Steady friend until the end
You keep me on my feet
I was conceived by manuals
By articles, and books
But nothin' there is magical
It’s just as it looks
And they say the truth’s statistical
But we all know they lie
So let us lie together
Lie together beneath the sky
I’m seeking opportunity
Take me by the hand
Show me where I’m goin'
Show me who I am
Because all I need’s a drop of water
I’m a seed born on the wind
I was once a flower
And I’ll be a flower again
I was once a flower
And I’ll be a flower again
