Ain't Nothing Going on but the Rent Lyrics

No Romance without finance
No Romance without finance

Boy, nothing in life is free
That's why I'm asking you, what can you do for me?
I've got responsibilities
So I'm looking for a man who's got some money in his hand

Cause nothing from nothin'
Leaves a nothin'
You've got to have somethin'
If you want to be with me

Oh, life is just serious
Love's too mysterious
A fly girl like me needs security

Chorus:
Cause ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent
You've got to have a J.O.B. if you want to be with me

Chorus

No Romance without finance
No Romance without finance

Boy, your silky words are sweet
But we're only wasting 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 nothing from nothin'
Leaves a nothin'
You've got to have somethin'
If you want to be with me
Oh, life is just serious
Love's too mysterious
A fly girl like me needs security

Chorus(repeat)

No Romance without finance
No Romance without finance

Ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent
You've got to have a J.O.B. if you wanna
Be with me
(Repeat)
