I've got two islands in the Bahamas

Got some land in the south of France

I am gonna get me a house out on Malibu beach

Just as soon as I get the chance

Though I ain't got a driver's license

I've got a Rolls and five limousines

I've got every little thing that money can buy

And I guess that I am a man of means

Well, I've got a lot of things, baby, in this world

But I can't get my hands on you

Once I loaned out a whole lot of money

To a man who I called my friend

And he skipped town without paying me back

Well, he'll never pull that trick again

And though it ain't always been this easy

I worked hard to get to this spot

And all that it took was determination

To get all the things that I've got

You see, I've got a lot of things, baby, in this world

But I can't get my hands on you

No, no, no

Hey!

Well, I guess if I had to admit it

In my life, I've done okay

Whenever they told me that I couldn't get something

I went out and found me a way

But with you, it's a different story, baby

You just won't give me a break

How am I gonna face all of my friends

My whole reputation's at stake

You see, I've got a lot of things, baby, in this world

But I can't get my hands on you

Oh, I can't do it, baby

No, no, no

Can't get a hand on you
