Verse 2:

        There'll be women and their fortunes
        Who just love to mother orphans
        Are you gonna cry, when I'm squeezin' 'em dry
        Takin' all I can get, no regrets
        When I...
        Openly lie
        And leave only money
        Believe me honey, that money
        Can you believe, I ain't no saint
        Who complains
        So girl cut out
        Any doubt
        But baby (but baby)
        Remember (remember)
