Some boys kiss me, some boys hug me 
I think they're O.K. 
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 
'Cause the boy with the cold hard cash 
Is always Mister Right, 'cause we are 

Living in a material world 
And I am a material girl 
You know that we are living in a material world 
And I am a material girl 

Some boys romance, some boys slow dance 
That's all right with me 
If they can't raise my interest then I 
Have to let them be 
Some boys try and some boys lie but 
I don't let them play 
Only boys who save their pennies 
Make my rainy day, 'cause they are 

Living in a material world 
And I am a material girl 
You know that we are living in a material world 
And I am a material girl 

Living in a material world [material] 
Living in a material world [material]

Boys may come and boys may go 
And that's all right you see 
Experience has made me rich 
And now they're after me, 'cause everybody's 

Living in a material world 
And I am a material girl 
You know that we are living in a material world 
And I am a material girl 

A material, a material, a material, a material world 

Living in a material world [material] 
Living in a material world [material]
