Ain't Nothin' Goin' On But The Rent - GWEN GUTHRIE

[Intro]
Bill collector's at my door
What can you do for me? Hey!
No romance without finance
No romance without finance

[Verse 1]
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 money in his hands

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
No romance without finance
I said no romance without finance

[Verse 2]
Boy, your silky ways 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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
No romance without finance
I said no romance without finance
No romance without finance
I said no romance without finance

[Bridge]
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
