Can't buy free love ... oh!
Can't buy free love
A guy named Simon he met Peter
In the eighth chapter of Acts
He could do magic things 'cause he was
Usin' Satan through witchcraft
And Simon had a bunch of money
But he couldn't buy free love
"I'll give you all I've got," he said
"If you'll show me what to do
To make the power of God descend
Upon the ones I want it to."
But Peter said, "It's not for money
Money can't buy free love."
Can't buy free love ... and the Bible tells me so
Can't buy free love ... no dough sozo
Satan will keep you buyin' things
That God says not to try
Till you reach the point where finally
You've bought a great big lie
And lies can cost you more than money
Money can't buy free love
Can't buy free love ... and the Bible tells me so
Can't buy free love ... no dough sozo
Satan will keep you buyin' things
That never satisfy
Till you reach the point where finally
You've bought a great big lie
And lies can cost you more than money
Money can't buy free love
Acts 8:20
Peter answered: "May your money perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money!"
