And I am a material girl
Boys may come, and boys may go and that's alright, you see
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
Some boys try and some boys hide, but I don't let them play
Living in a material world
You know that we are living in a material world

And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
And I am a material girl

And I am a material girl

And I am a material girl
If they can't raise my interests then I have to let them be

They can beg and they can plead, but they can't see the light
'Cause the boy with the cold, hard cash is always Mr. Right

You know that we are living in a material world
Some boys romance, some boys slow dance, that's alright with me
Only boys that save their pennies, make my rainy day
Living in a material world

And I am a material girl
'Cause everybody's living in a material world
A material
And I am a material girl
And I am a material girl
'Cause they are living in a material world
You know that we are living in a material world
Experience has made me rich, and now they're after me

'Cause we are living in a material world
