It wasn’t just for money

listen everybody
that I had to use my gun
either I was brave or disappoint my friends
the only friends I had
I didn’t want no blood
I didn’t want to get caught
I didn’t want to get lonely
so I told everyone
you better stay where you are
you don’t want me go and use my gun

it wasn’t just for money

listen everybody

so I went down the aisle

I went one by one
you better give me what I want
gimme’ money gimme’ more
give it all if you wanna’ go home
you don’t wanna’ take long
and when I was about through
somebody started to shoot
and there was nothing I could do
I said don’t worry
my gun is a phoney
I didn’t want to get lonely

it wasn’t just for money

listen everybody

I wish I could’ve made love

to all the girls on the block
I wish I could’ve gone steady
with that beautiful Mary
I wish I’d made my mother
proud of her son
but I had to use my gun

it wasn’t just for money

listen everybody
