Ain't Nothin' Going on But the Rent
What can you do for me? (For me, do for me...)
Hey
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
What can you do for me? (For me, do for me...)
Hey
Boy, your silky words are sweet
But we're only wastin' time
If your pockets are empty
I've 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
What can you do for me? (For me, do for me...)
