Big money don't count for a happy life
Little man with a big heart
Make a happy wife
I said, big money don't count for a happy life
Little man with a big heart
Make a happy wife
He's a simple man in a foreign land
Every day he works for today
For the future he cannot say
He's livin' the real one underneath his skin
He got an itch he need to find
A real woman to stay alive
Big money don't count for a happy life
Little man with a big heart
Make a happy wife
I said, big money don't count for a happy life
Little man with a big heart
Make a happy wife, yeah
(You know what I'm talking about)
She's a simple soul, yeah, in a foreign home
Clean the floor, clean the plate
Simple life for a simple fate
Work is good, pay is okay
All she wants is a man
Who'll let her in his heart one day
Big money don't count for a happy life
Little man with a big heart
Make a happy wife
I said, big money don't count for a happy life
Little man with a big heart
Make a happy wife, yeah
Big money don't count, oh
Big money doesn't matter, oh
Big money don't count, oh
Big money doesn't matter, oh
Big money don't count for a happy life
Big money doesn't matter for a happy life
