I used to keep unto myself
I didn't think of no one else
I didn't go out of my way
I couldn't spare the time of day
Couldn't stop and lend a hand
To my fellow, fellow man
Couldn't look him in the eye
'Cos I was barely getting by
But since you fell in love with me
It's like I won the lottery
I'm happy as a soul can be
I've taken up philanthopy
(Doo we, doo we, doo we, doo we do)
'Cos baby every time we kiss
It's a hundred thousand just like this
Directly into my account
What a staggering amount
And when I sleep you hold me tight
I make a million overnight
And that's the way I start each day
With so much more to give away
So now when I walk down the street
I smile at everyone I meet
I'm kind to everyone I see
I've taken up philanthropy
Baby you're so good to me
I'm feeling very Carnegie
Oh baby you're my every wish
I'm feeling Rockefeller-ish
I'm feeling very much inclined
To benefit all humankind
To bring whatever I can bring
'Cos I don't want for anything
Since you feel in love with me
It's like I won the lottery
I'm happy as a soul can be
I've taken up philanthropy
Every time it rains it rains
Pennies from heaven
