Silver and gold made you say goodbye
One day it may make you want to cry
When you're alone with a heart that's blue
Who will you take your heartaches to?
Love can't grow on a money tree
Not the way
Not the kind
You had with me
Someday when you're older
A wiser girl you'll be
Then you'll know that love can't grow
On a money tree
I don't blame you
For all my pain
A young girl like you
Needs time to dream
You're happy now
But how long will it last?
One day you'll be
Just a girl with a past
Love can't grow
On a money tree
Not the kind
You had with me
Someday you'll be
Someday when you're older
A wiser girl you'll be
Then you'll know that love can't grow
On a money tree
