TAKE HOME PAY As recorded by John Cougar Mellencamp (From the 1979 Album JOHN COUGAR) [Intro]             [Verse 1] You’ve been checking some girls heart For some tenderness But all you found this far Her credit card eyes and some pretentiousness Tell her you’re gonna have to pass If she don’t like it she can kiss your ass Cos all you really wanted anyway Was your take home pay [Chorus] Take home pay better spend it as fast as you can Take home pay buy yourself a lover beats beatin’ it by hand You know what they say Money can’t buy happiness But you ’re feelin real good When you’re real well dressed And you’re blowin them all away Spending your take home pay! [Harmonica Solo] N..                          [Chorus] Take home pay better spend it as fast as you can Take home pay buy yourself a lover beats beatin’ it by hand You know what they say Money can’t buy happiness But you ’re feelin real good When you’re real well dressed And you’re blowin them all away Spending your take home pay! Take home pay better spend it as fast as you can Take home pay buy yourself a lover beats beatin’ it by hand You know what they say Money can’t buy happiness But you ’re feelin real good When you’re real well dressed And you’re blowin them all away Spending your take home pay! [Outro] N..

La chanson évoque les désillusions d'une recherche de tendresse et d'authenticité dans les relations, face à des attentes superficielles. Le protagoniste semble fatigué de devoir faire des compromis à cause de l'égocentrisme des autres, et finit par affirmer que son véritable désir se résume à profiter de son argent, à dépenser et à vivre pleinement. Dans un contexte où le consumérisme prédomine, il souligne l'idée que même si l'argent ne peut pas acheter le bonheur, il offre tout de même une certaine satisfaction et une apparence soignée qui impressionnent les autres. C'est un reflet des luttes quotidiennes et des valeurs à une époque où la réussite matérielle est mise en avant.
