There's a mean old man who worships papyrus
Writes fancy words on the back of his eyelids
They never reach his heart
Cuz he wouldn't like it
If he really stopped to read what they said
And he's really pretty smart
But he's not a fan of
Mercy or grace
Or love that expands to
Hurting or broken people
Who couldn't earn it
Sometimes I wonder if he gets tired
Of all that working
Oh you can't earn love like money
Ain't that funny
Ain't that funny, no
Oh you can't earn love like money
Ain't that funny
Ain't that funny
There's a scared little kid
He'll never measure up
So acutely aware that he doesn't know enough
And he really tries his best
But he'll never do or say the right stuff, all the time
But he doesn't have to anyway he's missing the point
He thought that love was something
You could get for work like a coin
But he was born just as beautiful as he could ever be
Sometimes I laugh cuz he reminds
Myself of me
Oh you can't earn love like money
Ain't that funny
Ain't that funny, no
Oh you can't earn love like money
Ain't that funny
Ain't that funny, no
Something you can't earn or lose
Oh you're worth it being you
Oh you can't earn love like money
Ain't that funny
Ain't that funny, no
Oh you can't earn love like money
Ain't that funny
Ain't that funny, no
Oh you can't earn love like money
Ain't that funny
Ain't that funny, no
Oh you can't earn love like money
Ain't that funny
Ain't that funny
Ain't that funny
