You Can’t Take It With You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I love your money
Your diamond rings
I love your money, honey
Your earthly things

[Chorus]
But you can't take it with you
You can't take it with you
You can't take it with you, alright

[Verse 2]
I love your space shuttle
Your flash cars
I love your prima donnas
Your rock stars

[Chorus]
But you can't take it with you
You can't take it with you
You can't take it with you, no

[Verse 3]
I love your double standards
I love your double-takes
I love your false witness
Oh, but for heaven’s sake
[Chorus]
You can't take it with you
You can't take it with you, oh
You can't take it with you, no, right (Let's do it)

[Verse 4]
I like your Giorgio Armani
The things you offer me
Amount to bribery
Greed and hypocrisy

[Chorus]
You can't take it with you
You can't take it with you
You can't take it with you, you can't

[Verse 5]
I ain't no Christian
I have no angel wings
The answеrs don’t exist
Oh, but I know one thing

[Chorus]
You can't take it with you
You can't takе it with you
I said you can't take it with you
And you know it's too worthless to disown
Oh, too worthless to disown (Let's rock now)
[Verse 1]
I love your money
Your diamond rings
I love your money, honey
Your earthly things
But you—

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
