You may have diamonds
You may have pearls
You may think you got it baby
Over all the other girls
But honey you ain`t got nothing
And I`ll tell you why
If you`re empty as a soul can be, baby
Deep down inside
You better start savin` up
For the things that money can`t buy
You better start savin` up
For the things that money can`t buy
You better start savin` up
For the things that money can`t buy
You better start savin` up
For the things that money can`t buy
You may have a big backyard
And ruby rings
And my love`s just a second-place runner, honey
To your fancy things
But what you got to hold on to
When the lights go down
You come lookin` for me baby
But I ain`t nowhere around
You better start savin` up
For the things that money can`t buy
You better start savin` up
For the things that money can`t buy
You better start
You need a strong man, baby
To love and understand you
A man who ain`t afraid, sugar
To get some dirt on his hands for you
And when you`re feeling so down-hearted
And all you wanna do is cry
Ah, just come on, take my hand, baby
Together you and I
We could start savin` up
For the things that money can`t buy
We`d better start savin` up
For the things that money can`t buy
You better start savin` up
For the things that money can`t buy
You better start savin` up
For the things that money can`t buy
