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.....
