Some boys kiss me and some boys hug me and I think they're O.K.
C              Am       F      G   Bb             C
If they don't give me double credit I  just walk away
C             Am       F         G        Bb                 C
Well they can beg and they can plead but they can't see the light (That's right)
C          Am            F        G        Bb         C
Cause the boy with the cold hard cash is always Mr. Right

            Cause we are living in a material world and I am a material girl
                                 F  G         C       Am       F         G       C

C            Am         F              G               Bb          C
Some boys romance and some boys slow dance and that's alright with me
C            Am         F      G      Bb              C
If they can raise my interest then I have to let them be
C         Am       F         G      Bb                C
Some boys try and some boys lie but I don't let them play  (no way)
C     Am        F            G     BB             C
Only boys that save their pennies make my rainy days
