People in line got a real good laugh When I pumped two dollars worth of premium gas Money down the drain (it's all I could afford) Twist off bottle and tall boy cans In a brown paper sack from the quick stop man Got a hand full of change (it's all I could afford) I ain't got now dough (dough) no (no) I get it and it goes Like the water flows out of my hands (hands) Uncle Sam (Sam) I want you to know, the money's done Chorus: Spent (no it just don't last) Yeah it goes to fast (it ain't coming back) I don't know where it went (spent it on your friends) Oh it just gets spent (yeah it just gets spent) Yeah the money gets spent Tried my ATM card, county bank Started flashin' no funds Even told me no thanks Wouldn't give it back to me (it's all I could afford) Yeah I went to buy me a brand new dress But the man behind the counter wouldn't take my checks It was nothin' for free (it's all I could afford) I'd like to take a vacation (hey) to the islands (ho) I'd love to take you where the water's so blue Bring Mama (Mama) to the Bahama ('Hamas) But no can do 'cause the money I'd use is Chorus There's people walking 'round in the world out there Just wishin' they could have what we got here But you can't buy love like a lot of people think 'Cause when it comes to love just as fast as we can make it...it's spent Chorus
