Some boys kiss me, some boys hug me
If they don't give me proper credit
They can beg and they can plead
But they can't see the light, that's right, that's right
'Cause the boy with the cold hard cash
You know that we are living in a material world
Some boys romance, some boys slow dance
If they can't raise my interest then I
Some boys try and some boys lie but
I don't let them play, no way, no way
Only boys that save their pennies
(chorus)
Living in a material world [material]
(repeat)
And now they're after me, 'cause everybody's
(chorus)
A material, a material, a material, a material world
