MONEY IN MY POCKET LYRICS
written by Dennis Brown

Oh yeah, yeah, Mm-mmm yeah
Money in my pocket but I just can't get no love
Money in my pocket but I just can't get no love
I'm praying for a girl to be my own
Soon you said she coming but I don't believe a word she said
Cause she run away and left me one rainy day
She made me had in mind that her love would never die
And now I'm alone, so alone, so alone, yeah, yeah

Money in my pocket but I just can't get no love, oh no
Money in my pocket but I just can't get no love
The love I had in mind was very, very hard to find, oh
It's hard for a man to live without a woman
And a woman needs a man to cling to
You'll see what love can do after making me feel blue
Ain't that a shame, woah baby
Ain't that a shame, yeah, yeah, yeah
To make me feel blue, woah yeah, yeah
Ain't that a shame, baby
Ain't that a shame...

As a teenager I didn't know what loneliness was. Now as a 60 year old man who has lost his only love. This song has a different meaning.

[loulout]

Just lost my beautiful uncle to this horrible virus, he loved this song and Dennis Brown. Hopefully they get to meet one another up there beyond the skies for a special live performance. Be at peace uncle you were an impeccable man 🤍🙏🏾🤍

White boy North Carolina here. I wish to life a simple life, near a village, but away from the city and listen to tradition roots reggae until I die. Life really could be that easy.

[paul-chbf]

I'm a baldy white guy growing up in Brixton when this chooon was playing.
Love it.

[delbertprince]

This song would never die....Rest In Peace Dennis Brown

[Dephire]

This is the song that started it all for me. I was playing GTA 4, cruising around listening to the Blue Ark Reggae radio station in the game. This was one of the songs that came on. I remember thinking, "Man, this is... this is pretty good.". That was 13 years ago and I've been strictly reggae all day since then. Dennis Emmanuel Brown, thank you and rest peacefully.
