Lyrics: Forever in Blue Jeans
Money talks
But it donât sing and dance
And it donât walk
And long as I can have you
Here with me, Iâd much rather be
Forever in blue jeansHoneyâs sweet
But it ainât nothinâ next to babyâs treat
And if you pardon me
Iâd like to say
Weâll do okay
Forever in blue jeans
Maybe tonight
Maybe tonight, by the fire
All alone you and I
Nothing around
But the sound of my heart
And your sighs
Money talks
But it canât sing and dance
And it canât walk
And long as I can have you
Here with me, Iâd much rather be
Forever in blue jeans, babe
And honeyâs sweet
But it ainât nothinâ next to babyâs treat
And if you pardon me Iâd like to say
Weâll do okay
Forever in blue jeans
Maybe tonight
Maybe tonight, by the fire
All alone you and I
Nothing around
But the sound of my heart
And your sighs
Money talks
But it donât sing and dance
And it donât walk
And long as I can have you
Here with me
Iâd much rather be
Forever in blue jeans
And if you pardon me
Iâd like to say
Weâll do okay
Forever in blue jeans, babe
And long as I can have you
Here with me Iâd much rather be
Forever in blue jeans, babe
