About This Song


The main message is that money can't buy love. The verses and bridge talk about how it can buy things to try to win a love back, things to make you forget, and things to help you move away, but money can't buy love.

Feedback Requested


Any and all feedback is always appreciated.

Katie,

I really like the acoustic/melody, Great job! I really like the idea of the story you are trying to tell. The story him trying to win you back by buying you things. The first verse, are you telling the story of him buying you things. It seem you are talking to him in the chorus and then the first verse you say ” it can buy YOU a bouquet of roses,” I think it would be awesome to say you can buy ME a bouquet, change the you’s to me’s, it will come across as you talking to him about the things he bought for you. How do you want him to fix this broken heart without money? some ideas of what money can’t do and what he can do differently.You have a fantastic layout, idea, and melody!

Hi Katie!
I agree with Amber that all of the me’s and you’s should stay consistent throughout the song which would be easy to change. I also really like the story concept you’ve come up with and I think a lot of people would be able to relate! The last chorus is cool too, I like that there’s a change and that maybe he’s realized money can’t buy love. I wonder if maybe the bridge could go into how he tries to win her back through acts of kindness etc rather than money but the damage is already done? It might make the final chorus seem quite bittersweet which could be quite effective

Money Can’t Do

Written by Katie Fee

VERSE
It can buy you a bouquet of roses
Tied up with a little note
To leave by my door
It can pay for dinner and a movie
But what's the use anymore
It can buy you a diamond ring
Wrapped up in a pretty little box
Oh but it won't mean a thing
'Cause you can't get back what you lost

CHORUS
Don't you know
Money can't buy love
Can't buy me back
Win me over just like that
Money can't fix us
Erase the past
Make me forget all the bad
When will it ever get through to you
There's just some things that money can't do

VERSE
It can pay for parking downtown
So you can go for a walk
To clear your head
It can buy you a drink at the bar
So you can try to forget
But it will only work for so long
Before you realize that I'm gone
Yeah you can buy something to ease the pain
But you can't get what you really want

CHORUS

BRIDGE
It can buy a ticket
To fly you out of this place
Help you start a new life
Far far away

FINAL CHORUS
Now you know
Money can't buy love
Can't buy me back
Win me over just like that
Money can't fix us
Erase the past
Make me forget all the bad
I guess it finally got through to you
There's just some things that money can't do
