Some boys kiss me,

Some boys hug me,

I think they're ok

If they don't give me proper credit;

I just walk away



They can beg and they can plead

But they can't see the light

(That's right)

Cos the boy with the cold, hard cash

Is always Mr. Right



*Chorus*

Cos we are living

In a material world,

And I am a material girl



Ya know that we are living

In a material world,

And I am a material girl



(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)



Some boys comb some boys tone

And that's alright with me,

If they can't raise my interests

Then I have to let them be



Some boys tye and some boys dye,

But I don't let them play (no way, no way)

Only boys that save their pennies,

Make my rainy day



*Chorus*

Cos we are living

In a material world,

And I am a material girl



Ya know that we are living

In a material world,

And I am a material girl



(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah) x3



Living in a material world

(Material...)



Living in a material world

(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)



Living in a material world

(Material...)



Living in a material world



Boys may come, and boys may go

And that's alright, ya see

Experience has made me rich,

And now they're after me



*Chorus*

Cos everybody's living

In a material world,

And I am a material girl



Ya know that we are living

In a material world,

And I am a material girl



Living in a material world,

And I am a material girl



Ya know that we are living

In a material world

And I am a material girl



A material...

A material....

A material.....-a
