Every night before I got to sleep
Find a ticket, win a lottery
Scoop those pearls up from the sea
Cash them in and buy you all the things you need

Every night before I rest my head
See those dollar bills go swirling all around my bed
I know they’re stolen but I don’t feel bad
I’ll take that money and buy you things you never had

Oh baby, it would mean so much to me
Oh baby, to buy you all the things you need for free
If you believe, believe in me

Where were you, babe? Where were you babe?
Where were you babe? Where were you babe?
I had free money, free money, I had free money, oh yeah

I had a dream about you, a dream about me
And we had free money and a black limousine
Everything was new, it was clean
And you reached out for the ring, a diamond ring
But it wasn’t real, it was a dream

I woke up and I screamed, ahh
I want you
I want you
I want you
I want you
I want you
Free money
Free money
Free money
Free money
