Background[]
The song was originally intended for another artist, however, Gaga thought it felt too much like a "Gaga song", so she decided to keep it. While in the demo process, the title was "That's Money Honey", which is also the name registered on her BMI. The song deals about love being described as money for a relationship. Before her live performance of the song, she generally says that the thing she hates the most in the world is money.

Lyrics[]
That's M-O-N-E-why so sexy? I
Damn I love the Jag, the jet, and the mansion
Oh yeah
And I enjoy the gifts and trips to the islands
Oh yeah
It's good to live expensive, you know it but
My knees get weak, intensive
When you give me k-kisses
That's money honey
When I’m your lover and your mistress
That's money honey
When you touch me it’s so delicious
That's money honey
Baby when you tear me to pieces
That's money honey
That's M-O-N-E-why so sexy? I
Damn I’d love a boat by the beach on the West Coast
Oh yeah
And I’d enjoy some fine champagne, while my girls toast
Oh yeah
It's good to live expensive, you know it but
My knees get weak, intensive
When you give me k-kisses
That's money honey
When I’m your lover and your mistress
That's money honey
When you touch me it’s so delicious
That's money honey
Baby when you tear me to pieces
That's money honey
You know I appreciate the finer things
But it’s not what makes me happiest baby
(I can do without it babe)
Your tender loving’s more than I can handle
Never burn out this candle baby, baby
K-kisses
That's money honey
When I’m your lover and your mistress
That's money honey
When you touch me it’s so delicious
That's money honey
Baby when you tear me to pieces
That's money honey
When you give me k-kisses
That's money honey
When I’m your lover and your mistress
That's money honey
When you touch me it’s so delicious
That's money honey
Baby when you tear me to pieces
That's money honey
When you give me k-kisses
That's money honey
When I’m your lover and your mistress
That's money honey
When you touch me it’s so delicious
That's money honey
Baby when you tear me to pieces
That's money honey
That's M-O-N-E-why so sexy? I
