Goin To The Bank Lyrics by Commodores

United

1986

She knows I want her
She knows I need her

She knows she got my love
But I'm apprehensive
She's so expensive, girl

Just can't get enough
I'm the one who does 9 to 5
Hustlin' for my bread

While she's decidin' what dress to buy
Layin' around in my bed

Goin' to the bank
She got me goin' to the bank
She keeps me runnin' to the bank
She got me, got me

Drives my Mercedes
Lunch with the ladies
She loves the finer things
What have I created

Now I'm afraid to see what tomorrow brings
She don't know what it does to me trying to keep her in line
If love is just a big charge account
Why'd it have to be mine?

Goin' to the bank
She got me goin' to the bank
She keeps me runnin' to the bank
She got me, got me

Hello, oh hi
Can I help you today?
Yeah
I'd like to make another withdrawal

Again? Yeah, again
Well, as you know
By now there is a substantial penalty
For early withdrawal

She knows I love her
Knows how I need her
She knows I really care
I can't afford her

I should've taught her, I ain't no billionaire
Gotta get her to understand soon the will be dry
If she don't love the simple things
Maybe I'm the wrong guy

Goin' to the bank
She got me goin' to the bank
She keeps me runnin' to the bank
She got me, got me

She thinks she saves me money buyin' everything on sale
But she believes in quantity
Now I'm afraid to open my mail
Goin' for the bank
She got me goin' to the bank

Now the girl's gotta look good for me

But this is going too far
'Cause she won't feel so beautiful when they repossess my car
Goin' to the B A N K
She got me goin' to the bank

Goin' to the bank
She got me goin' to the bank
She keeps me runnin' to the bank
She got me, got me

Goin' to the B A N K
B a n k
B a n k
