I heard a story All about you I heard the secrets Maybe they're true
I read the papers I read the news I hear the gossip All about you
They say that you're really not so
prim and prude Behind it all you're rather rude And really go for younger men Italian types and lots of them
I can't believe it, baby
Maybe it's true
Honey, honey, honey You do it for the money
I heard the stories Saturday nights Out in the back room After one or two lines (one
or two lines)
Your name is mentioned It gives me a fright (gives
me a fright) Dishonorable mention Puts you in a new light
You've been going downtown slave
romancing Nasty, mean and fancy dancing With your nose in plastic bags And people talk and tongues all wag
I can't believe it, baby
I've been a fool 'cause...
Scales have just fell from my eyes You can't keep up your disguise Tell me about your adventures in
living
I won't write a word of libel Swear it on a thousand Bibles But, I admit, I have got my
misgivings
Maybe it's true
Honey, honey, honey You do it for the money
I read the papers I read the news I scan the columns For pictures of you (pictures
of you)
You with the husbands You with the mayor You with the kids, now who are you
kidding, who are you kidding? How can you dare?
While you are the mistress of a
mafia man Who's working for the Vatican And all your money is crisply ironed In off-shore banks, your friends
are kind
I can't believe it, baby Maybe it's Maybe it's true
Honey, honey, honey You do it for the money
Yeah, you have been a nasty girl Yeah, you've been bad, you've been
bad, you've been bad You better come over here and take
your punishment - come on
Bad, bad, bad, bad Bad, bad, bad, bad Bad, bad, bad Bad, bad, bad, bad
Honey, honey, honey You do it for the money Honey, honey, honey You do it for the money Honey, honey, honey You do it for the money Honey, honey, honey You do it for the money Honey, honey, honey You do it for the money
