When the money's gone
Will you be my friend?
Float a small row boat till our ship comes in
When the winter nights chill us to the soul
Will you feed the fire?
Spin the straw to gold
When the money's gone
When the money's gone
Will you get cold feet?
Will you still be there if the ends don't meet?
If we're in the red, just forget the green
Take a bus with me
No more limousines
When the money's gone
Will you still want me?

Oh what a fine life I give to you
All you ever want
Will you still be there?
Will you pull me through when the cash don't come?
And if you're mine
Will you still love me wherever we fall?
When the money's gone

Oh, will you want me, baby?
Oh, will you need me, baby?
Oh, will you love me, baby?
When the money's gone
Money, money, money's gone

When the money
When the money
When the money's gone
No more caviar
Will you eat fast food in a beat up car?
Live life modestly, lost in lotto dreams
Will you find your way through it all with me?
Through it all with me
Will you still love me?

Oh what a fine life I give to you
All you ever want
Will you still be there?
Will you pull me through when the cash don't come?
And if you're mine
Will you still love me wherever we fall?
When the money's gone

Oh, will you want me, baby?
Oh, will you need me, baby?
Oh, will you love me, baby?
When the money's gone
Money, money, money's gone
When the money
When the money's gone
When the money's gone, baby

And a mile off the shore
Flies a bird who'll land no more
As the tide pulls the sea
So you always will pull me
Forever more (Forever, forever...)

Oh what a fine life I give to you
All you ever want
Will you still be there?
Will you pull me through when the cash don't come?
And if you're mine
Will you still love me wherever we fall?
When the money's gone

Oh, will you want me, baby?
Oh, will you need me, baby?
Oh, will you love me, baby?
When the money's gone
Money, money, money's gone
Oh, will you want me, baby?
Oh, will you need me, baby?
Oh, will you love me, baby? (When the money's gone)
When the money's gone
When the money's all gone
Gone, gone, gone..
When the money's gone
When the money's gone

Cher is an American singer, songwriter, actress, model, fashion designer, television host, comedian, dancer, businesswoman, philanthropist, author, film producer, director, and record producer.

Cher gained popularity in 1965 as one-half of the folk rock husband–wife duo Sonny & Cher after their first hit, “I Got You Babe”. She began her solo career simultaneously, releasing in 1966 her first million-seller song, “Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)”. After the duo had lost its young audience owing to their monogamous, anti-drug lifestyle during the period of the sexual revolution and the rise of the drug culture, she returned to stardom in the 1970s as a television personality with her shows The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour, watched by over 30 million viewers weekly during its three-year run, and Cher. She became a fashion trendsetter by wearing elaborate outfits on her television shows. While working on television, she established herself as a solo artist with the number-one singles “Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves”, “Half-Breed”, and “Dark Lady”. After her divorce from Sonny Bono in 1975, Cher’s much-publicized personal life led to a decline in her career, although she launched a minor comeback in 1979 with the disco-oriented album Take Me Home and earned $300,000 a week for her 1980–1982 residency show in Las Vegas.

In the early 1980s, Cher made her Broadway debut, and then starred in the film Silkwood. Her performance earned her a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1983. In the ensuing years, she starred in films such as Mask, The Witches of Eastwick, and Moonstruck. She made her directorial debut in the 1996 film If These Walls Could Talk. At the same time, she established herself as a rock singer by releasing platinum albums such as Heart of Stone (1989) and top-ten singles such as “I Found Someone” and “If I Could Turn Back Time”. She reached a new commercial peak in 1998 with the song “Believe”, which features the pioneering use of Auto-Tune, also known as the “Cher effect”. Her 2002–2005 Living The Farewell Tour ended up as the highest-grossing music tour by a female artist then. In 2008, she signed a $60 million per-year deal to headline the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas for three years. After seven years of absence, she returned to film in the 2010 musical Burlesque. Cher’s first studio album in 12 years, Closer to the Truth, became her highest-charting solo album in the U.S. to date.
