[Verse 1]
When you're not around, your people have their way with words
And you dont have to hear the sound to feel the burn
Well, I get up and down
And very close to people's lives
You've got some things you can erase
Honey, Ive got mine
[Chorus]
I know that you want to be seen
And to be heard
Oh, to be loved, it's not a crime
Money is the root of the game
What you stand to gain
But everybody's gonna lose their heads
[Verse 2]
You got the magic smile
Makes people turn their heads
And take their love and make it burn for you instead
Well, I get so inspired
And you know just how much that's worth
Most people know just what they want, but can't make it work
[Chorus]
I know that you want to be free
And to be wild
And to be hugged just like a child
Money is the root of the game
The problem with fame
Is everyone going to lose their edge
