  • Living it up all night if you're in it for the money
    That's alright, this is the midnight hour
    Forget about your troubles, hold on tight
    Gimme a time and place, just shuffle to the music
    The band plays on
    Take what you can from life, yeah
    My father always told me, "When you're gone you're gone"

    Everybody knows her name
    Everybody knows this game
    Go down, living it up
    Fall down, giving it up
    Deep down everybody loves her
    Go down, living it up
    Fall down, giving it up
    Deep down everybody loves her

    Man on the street says
    Baby, if you're in it for the money, I'm with you
    Living in dreams look now, 'cause the door is lying open
    Walk right through
    The look in her eye says
    Baby, I'm taking you to heaven
    Lights say red
    Do what you do that's good
    'Cause you never know the minute when you
    Drop down dead

    Everybody loves this game
    Everybody wants something
    Go down, living it up
    Fall down, giving it up
    Deep down everybody loves her
    Can you hear what I say now?
    Go down, living it up (living it up)
    Fall down, giving it up (giving it up)
    Deep down everybody loves her
    It's all for the love of money
    Go down, living it up (for the love of money)
    Fall down, giving it up (for the love of money)
    Deep down everybody loves her

    Talking 'bout you and me
    Everybody wants to be
    Just like you and me
    Everybody wants to be
    I've seen it before and I know
    Everybody wants the same
    Don't look back if you're running into trouble
    They all come running when the money's on the table
    Yes, you do

    Everybody wants some
    Everybody has some
    Everybody needs some
    Word gets 'round when the money's on the table

    Go down, living it up (but it's alright)
    Fall down, giving it up (yeah it's alright)
    Deep down everybody loves her (everybody loves her)
    Go down living it up (living it up)
    Fall down, giving it up (giving it up)
    Deep down everybody loves her (oh yeah, seen it before)
    Go down, living it up (seen it before)
    Fall down, giving it up (yeah, I've seen it before)
    Deep down everybody loves her
    (You know it's all for the love of money)
    Go down, living it up (talking 'bout love of money)
    Fall down, giving it up (all for the love of money)
    Deep down everybody loves her
    (Everybody knows, everybody knows)

    Just like you and me, everybody wants to be
    Just like you and me, everybody wants to be
    All for the love of money
    Love of money (love of money)
    It's alright, it's alright, it's alright Writer/s: Giuliano Gizzi, Mark Rankin
