She was comin to town on a whirlwind tour
And my baby just had to go
So I stood in line for 16 hours for a 90-minute show
I spent 87 dollars for nosebleed tickets
And another 20 on a beer
It kinda looked like Madonna but a whole lot smaller
I couldn't really tell from there

[Chorus]
I want my money 
I want my money back
I know its gone I should move on
But that don't change the fact
It just ain't right
No way nobody should do somebody like that
So where's my money
I want my money back

I spent 4 long years fillin up my head with a higher education
They promised me the skills I need to improve my situation
45 grand bought a long black gown and a tassel on my hat
Now I'm qualified to super-size
And say do you want fries with that

[Chorus]
I want my money 
I want my money back
I know its gone I should move on
But that don't change the fact
It just ain't right
No way nobody should do somebody like that
So where's my money
I want my money back

I know I'm only dreamin, yeah
I'm never gonna see it again
But it doesn't hurt to ask

It just ain't right
No way nobody should do somebody like that
I want my money 
Where's my money
Find that money 'cause I need my money
Gimme my money
I want my money back
Gimme my money back
Gimme my money back
I want my money back
