Lyrics
HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH?
YOU'VE GOT A PORSCHE
A JAG AND A LEXUS
YOU'VE GOT A MANSION
AS BIG AS TEXAS
YOU'VE DONE WELL
WITH YOUR MANY VISIONS
NOW YOU'RE IN THE CORNER OFFICE
MAKING BIG DECISIONS
(Chorus)
YOU GOT A LOT OF MONEY
YOU GOT A LOT OF STUFF
THE BIG QUESTION HERE IS
HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH?
YOU DON'T REALLY LOOK LIKE
YOU GOT IT THAT TOUGH
THE BIG QUESTION HERE IS
HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH?
YOU GO TO WORK EARLY
AND YOU STAY ALL DAY
YOU CAN BUY OUT ANYBODY
THAT GETS IN YOUR WAY
YOU CAN FLY ACROSS THE COUNTRY
IN YOUR PRIVATE JET
JUST TO HAVE A MARTINI
AND A CIGARETTE
(Bridge)
YOU'RE JUST LIKE A NUMBER ONE
STARTING PITCHER
EACH DAY PASSES
YOU KEEP GETTING RICHER
YOU MADE IT THOUGH
THE SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS
BUT YOU'D STILL BE UNHAPPY
WITH THE GOLD FROM FORT KNOX
(To Chorus)
