Lyrics:

If you wanna be with any woman uptown
Better get a deal and a wedding gown
What ended with a lawyer started with a kiss
I swear no amount of loving is worth all this

Look ahead, look behind
Never say what's on your mind
First you're found and then you're lost
You better look both ways or you're gonna get crossed

There's a man on the phone trying to tell me what to say
Dog's in the kennel but the cat's gone away
Monkey see and monkey do
She'll steal it from me and sell it back to you (ch)

She got fired and I got dropped
We split up when the money stopped
Now I'm counting all my money--my nickels and dimes
She can have what's hers, I'm keeping what's mine (ch)
