If trouble was money, I'd swear I'd be a millionaire 
If trouble was money, babe, I'd swear I'd be a millionaire 
For you I'd buy the whole world, woman, I'd buy the whole world and have money to spare, yeah 
Worry, worry, worry, worry, babe, I had worries on my mind, yeah 
I said, worry, worry, worry, worry, woman, I had worries all my life, yeah yeah 
You know times is hard, baby, I swear, I won't tell you know lie 
My mother used to tell me, she said, "Son, there gonna be days, gonna be days like this" 
My mother used to tell me, she said, "Son, there gonna be days, it's gonna be days, be days like this" 
She said, "I always want you to be a winner", she said, "Son, I don't want you to quit"
