Bust it open for a gift
I put diamonds on your wrist
I can't buy your lovin'
It's never enough
I took that girl on a trip
'Cause we was arguin'
Ever since we stopped touchin'
We're not in touch

I know money can't buy, buy, buy your love
I guess I didn't try, try hard enough
But we could work this like a nine-to-five
Mama told me stop playin', playin' all the games
Steady throwin' dollars expectin' change
But every war ends the same

Can we just
Make love
Not war?
Oh
Can we just
Make love
Not war?
Oh I solve my problems with a check
Now I'm payin' for it
You wanted nothin', uh
Nothin' but love
I can't lie, I'm a mess
I'm too jealous, yes
It's so hard to trust you
When I don't trust myself

I know money can't buy, buy, buy your love
I guess I didn't try, try hard enough
But we could work this like a nine-to-five
Mama told me stop playin', playin' all the games
Steady throwin' dollars expectin' change
But every war ends the same

Can we just
Make love
Not war?
Oh
Can we just
Make love
Not war?
Oh And my people say
Let's just try some lovin', babe
'Cause shawty, I know

I know money can't buy, buy, buy your love
I guess I didn't try, try hard enough
Girl, we could work it like a nine-to-five-five-five
Mama told me stop playin', playin' all the games
Steady throwin' dollars expectin' change
But every war ends the same

Can we just
Make love
Not war?
Oh, babe
Can we just
Make love
Not war?
Oh
Not war, babe
