lyrics

Well you know I love you baby
You're the queen of all my dreams
You know I want to treat you right
And buy you pretty, pretty things

I want to give you all that you desire
And turn the lights down low
But before we take this thing too far
There's something you should know

5 bucks, 5 bucks, a Lincoln's all I got
5 bucks, 5 bucks, that'll buy a whole lot of doodlie squat
Now that you know what you're gettin'
I'm praying everything will be alright
But 5 bucks, 5 bucks says I'll be alone tonight

Before you go and break my heart
there's something you should do
remember what your momma said
Find a heart that's true

Yeah the very best things in life are free
And I believe without a doubt
Money comes and money goes
But it's the thought that counts

5 bucks, 5 bucks, a Lincoln's all I got
5 bucks, 5 bucks, that'll buy a whole lot of doodly squat
Now that you know what you're gettin'
I'm praying everything will be alright
But 5 bucks, 5 bucks says I'll be alone tonight

So long Mr. Jackson
goodbye Mr. Grant
If you see Mr. Franklin tell him I need one more chance

5 bucks, 5 bucks, a Lincoln's all I got
5 bucks, 5 bucks, that'll buy a whole lot of doodly squat
Now that you know what you're gettin'
I'm praying everything will be alright
But 5 bucks, 5 bucks says I'll be alone tonight
