When I was seventeen
found out just what it means If you can get it free
it just ain t worth a damn When I heard the preacher say
don t throw your life away I got that message
and I wrote it on the wall I don t want anybody tellin me lies
no
I don t want your diamond ring Cause you ain t got my size I want money
money
that s what I need
I got Cadillac dreams
please mister don tcha take it from me Give me money
money
more than I need
I got Cadillac dreams waitin on me Cadillac dreams
Cadillac dreams When I had the young boy blues
I paid some young boy dues I learned the hard way
there s a heartbreak every day Stone cold reality came crashing down on me Well life was hard on me
but I still don t give a damn When I was seventeen I was an angry young man But I won t let just anybody tell me who I am I just want money
money
that s all I need I got Cadillac dreams
hey mister don tcha take it from me Give me money
money
more than I need
these Cadillac dreams are waitin on me Didn t have the time of day
till this dream was born You can t take that away
you can t take that away from me (Solo) When I was seventeen
there was this beauty queen Checked in a one room suite
the back seat of my car When you want all the best things money can buy You gotta reach down inside of you
to reach up to the sky Yeah
I want money
money
that s all I need I got Cadillac dreams
hey mister you can t take that from me I want money
