Gwen Guthrie – Ain't Nothin' Goin' On But The Rent lyrics
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 who's got 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 some 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 words are sweet,
But you'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 some 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 sho' look empty.
Mmmm, 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 some security.
I said life is too serious, love's too mysterious.
A fly girl like me needs some 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.
No romance without finance.
I said no romance without finance.
No romance without finance.
