Video (Live)
Director: Pat Birch
Producers: Phil Tuckett & NFL Films
DP: Hank McElwees
May be found on Twelve Deadly Cyns... And Then Some video.
The video was filmed in Houston on October 10th 1984.
In the video, there is a part where a fan runs onto the stage to hug Cyndi. Several questions happened about this. This WAS staged. It took several shots of Cyn getting up in the garbage can to pull the whole thing off... at least two or three attempts... and each time the "girl" who is rumored to be Susannah Hoffs, of the Bangles who opened for Cyn that night... was brought onstage... (info from Greg Houston)
Notes
Originally performed by "The Brains".
Cyndi recorded it in an unfinished room at the recording studio, almost like a basement. She recorded it alone in the room.
Lyrics
She said I'm sorry baby I'm leaving you tonight
I found someone new he's waitin' in the car outside
Ah honey how could you do it
We swore each other everlasting love
She said well yeah I know but when
We did--there was one thing we weren't
Really thinking of and that's money--
Money changes everything
Money, money changes everything
We think we know what we're doin'
That don't mean a thing
It's all in the past now
Money changes everything
They shake your hand and they smile
And they buy you a drink
They say we'll be your friends
We'll stick with you till the end
Ah but everybody's only
Looking out for themselves
And you say well who can you trust
I'll tell you it's just
Nobody else's money--
Money changes everything
Money changes everything
We think we know what we're doin'
We don't pull the strings
It's all in the past now
Money changes everything
Money changes everything
Money changes everything
We think we know what we're doing
We don't know a thing
It's all in the past now
Money changes everything
Money changes everything
Money changes everything
