Ain't Nothin' Goin' On But the Rent

Bill collector's at my door

What can you do for me?

Hey!

(No romance without finance)

(No romance without finance)

Boy, nothin' in life is free

That's why I'm askin' you, what can you do for me?

I've got responsibilities

So I'm lookin' for a man whose got some money in his hands

'Cause nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'

You got to have somethin' if you wanna be with me

Oh, life is too serious, love's too mysterious

A fly girl like me needs security

'Cause ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent

You got to have a J-O-B if you wanna be with me

Ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent

You got to have a J-O-B if you wanna be with me

No romance without finance

I said no romance without finance

Boy, your silky ways are sweet

But you're only wastin' time if your pockets are empty

I got lots of love to give

But I will have to avoid you if you're unemployed

'Cause nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'

You got to have somethin' if you wanna be with me

Oh, life is too serious, love's too mysterious

A fly girl like me needs security

'Cause ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent

You got to have a J-O-B if you wanna be with me

Ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent

You got to have a J-O-B if you wanna be with me

No romance without finance

I said no romance without finance

No romance without finance

I said no romance without finance

Oh, you look good to me

Your silky words are sweet

But your pockets sure look empty

Ain't nothing goin' on but the rent

I'm lookin' for a man...
