**[Verse 1]**
My wife smiled and replied, “Yes, at lunch.”
We parted ways, but after exchanging morning greetings, we were assigned desks facing each other.
I worked in the lab one floor below.
**[Pre-Chorus 1]**
At lunchtime, I returned to my desk, and we went to the company cafeteria together.
**[Chorus 1]**
Money can’t buy happiness,
but we need money to live.
And we have to work to earn money.
And I’ve lived with my beloved honey.
**[Verse 2]**
And that’s how our life together began.
The company cafeteria was crowded.
We chose set meals and sat in the empty seats next to each other.
**[Pre-Chorus 2]**
I took a bite and asked her, “How is it?”
She gave a subtle smile and said, “It’s not bad.”
**[Chorus 2]**
Money can’t buy happiness,
but we need money to live.
And we have to work to earn money.
And I’ve lived with my beloved honey.
**[Instrumental Solo]**
**[Verse 3]**
I asked, “What do you want to do after lunch?”
She answered, “I’ll just sit outside in the sun and daydream.”
I replied, “Okay, let’s do that.”
After lunch, we went out to sit in the courtyard.
**[Pre-Chorus 3]**
She talked about what had happened that morning while I listened.
**[Chorus 3]**
Money can’t buy happiness,
but we need money to live.
And we have to work to earn money.
And I’ve lived with my beloved honey.
**[Bridge]**
The afternoon work ended quickly, and we left the office holding hands.
She said, “Since we work and sleep separately, the only time we make love is during meals and on the commute.”
I was impressed, “That’s a sharp observation.”
**[Final Chorus]**
Money can’t buy happiness,
but we need money to live.
And we have to work to earn money.
And I’ve lived with my beloved honey.
