Words and Music By:

Kevin Edwards

Vs.1 

YOU’VE GOT ALL THE MONEY AND THE CARS, AND THE FAME.

THE HOUSES, AND THE SWIMMING POOLS, YOU’VE GOT ALL THE HOT DAMES

YOU’VE GOT AN ENGLISH BUTLER, AND A MAN THAT SHINES YOU’RE SHOES

BUT AS RICH AS YOU ARE, YOU’RE SO BLUE

AS RICH AS YOU ARE, IT’S SO EASY TO SEE

THAT AS RICH AS YOU ARE, YOU AIN’T AS RICH AS ME

Chorus:

I’VE GOT A WOMAN THAT LOVES ME, AND HOLDS ME ALL NIGHT LONG

FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO LEAN ON WHEN THE WORLD IS DOING ME WRONG

AND THOUGH I STRUGGLE FOR MONEY, IN MY EYES THAT AIN’T SO BAD

CAUSE I’VE GOT EVERYTHING THAT YOU DON’T HAVE

AS RICH AS YOU ARE, IT’S SO EASY TO SEE

THAT AS RICH AS YOU ARE, YOU AIN’T AS RICH AS ME

Vs. 2

YOU WALK INTO A RESTAURANT AND EVERYBODY CLEARS THE WAY

TREATIN YA LIKE A KING ON A THRONE, BOWING TO YOUR NAME

I’LL NEVER STRIKE A DEAL WITH YOU, NO I’LL NEVER SIGN ON THAT LINE

CAUSE AS RICH AS YOU ARE, I’D NEVER LEAVE MY LIFE BEHIND

AS RICH AS YOU ARE, IT’S SO EASY TO SEE

THAT AS RICH AS YOU ARE, YOU AIN’T AS RICH AS ME

Chorus:

I’VE GOT A WOMAN THAT LOVES ME, AND HOLDS ME ALL NIGHT LONG

FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO LEAN ON WHEN THE WORLD IS DOING ME WRONG

AND THOUGH I STRUGGLE FOR MONEY, IN MY EYES THAT AIN’T SO BAD

CAUSE I’VE GOT EVERYTHING THAT YOU DON’T HAVE

AS RICH AS YOU ARE, IT’S SO EASY TO SEE

THAT AS RICH AS YOU ARE, YOU AIN’T AS RICH AS ME

Vs. 3

YOUR CHEF DOES THE COOKING, MY WIFE’S FRIED CHICKEN IS JUST FINE

YOUR MAIDS THAT DO THE CLEANING, WELL SOMETIMES WE GET BEHIND

YOUR GARDENER DOING THE GARDENING, WELL MY MOWER STARTS ON THE FIRST TIME

AS RICH AS YOU ARE, YOUR SO BLIND

AS RICH AS YOU ARE, IT’S SO EASY TO SEE

THAT AS RICH AS YOU ARE, YOU AIN’T AS RICH AS ME

Chorus/Outro:

I’VE GOT A WOMAN THAT LOVES ME, AND HOLDS ME ALL NIGHT LONG

FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO LEAN ON WHEN THE WORLD IS DOING ME WRONG

AND THOUGH I STRUGGLE FOR MONEY, IN MY EYES THAT AIN’T SO BAD

CAUSE I’VE GOT EVERYTHING THAT YOU DON’T HAVE

AS RICH AS YOU ARE, IT’S SO EASY TO SEE

THAT AS RICH AS YOU ARE, YOU AIN’T AS RICH AS ME

AS RICH AS YOUR ARE, YOUR MERCEDES BENZ

AS RICH AS YOU ARE, I’LL TAKE MY CHICKEN AND HENS

AS RICH AS YOU ARE, ALL YOUR DIAMONDS AND GOLD

AS RICH AS YOU ARE, I’LL TAKE MY FISHING POLE

AS RICH AS YOU ARE, IT’S EASY TO SEE

THAT AS RICH AS YOU ARE, YOU AIN’T AS RICH AS ME

(AS RICH AS YOU ARE, IT’S EASY TO SEE

THAT AS RICH AS YOU ARE, YOU AIN’T AS RICH AS ME)    (REPEAT AND FADE)
